Mice were immunised with viable bacteria from a virulence-plasmid-cured strain of Y. pseudotuberculosis. This antigenic stimulation generated specific protection against virulence-plasmid-harbouring strains of Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. pestis, demonstrating that protection can be generated by organisms lacking plasmid-encoded virulence antigens. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-20-2-225
