[2]DiseasesDB14226Bubonic plague is the best known manifestation of the bacterial disease
plague, caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella
pestis). It belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. The term "bubonic plague" was often used
synonymously for plague, but it does in fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through
the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections. Bubonic
plague kills about half of infected patients in 3–7 days without treatment and may have been the
cause of the Black Death that swept through Europe in the 1300s killing more than 25 million
people, a third of the European population.[3]
