The death of 75 million Europeans are called the "Black Death" because of the victim's skin is blackened due to bleeding under the skin (subdermal). Having previously is still doubted by some quarters that the death caused by bacteria Yersinia pestis, scientists from the University of Tubingen Germany, and Canada's McMaster University has been able to confirm that Yersinia pestis was behind the outbreak of the well-known in history as the "Great Mortality" or the Great Mortality.

Samples taken from the frame of a cemetery for plague victims in London, England. The working group in Tubingen led by Dr. Johannes Krause uses a new technique "fishing molecule" of the tooth enamel and sequenced using technology terbaru.Hal is shown in enlargement of Yersinia pestis pictures.
In this way, the fragments are connected to the length genome sequence was identical to the bacterial pathogen causing the outbreak. "That suggests that at least this part of the genetic information that has barely changed in 600 years," Krause said, pointing out Yersinia pestis pictures.
The researchers were also able to show that DNA from the cemetery for plague victims in London are of medieval origin. To do that, they examined the damage to DNA that occurs only in old DNA.
"Without a doubt, the plague pathogen is known today as Yersinia pestis causes also in medieval plague," says Krause. Yersinia pestis pictures, now very easily to find on the internet and is a valuable knowledge. You have read Yersinia Pestis Pictures in Research
