The University of Nottingham Yersinia Research Group
The Yersinia research group is comprised of a team of specialist microbiologists investigating the molecular genetic mechanisms which underpin virulence in this group of bacteria. Alongside the group leader Dr Steve Atkinson, who has over 25 years experience in Yersinia research, are post doctoral researchers and PhD students working on the three human pathogenic species; Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica.
