Assays for the rapid and specific identification of North American Yersinia pestis and the common laboratory strain CO92.
We present TaqMan-minor groove binding (MGB) assays for an SNP that separates the Yersinia pestis strain CO92 from all other strains and for another SNP that separates North American strains from all other global strains.
