Abstract
The complete DNA sequence of three plasmids from the bacterium Yersinia pestis, the causative agent for bubonic plague, have been determined and are set forth. The open reading frames, or protein coding regions, of the plasmids have been determined. The DNA sequence and ORF information is useful for the creation of diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic tools for combating the disease caused by this agent.
