Congratulations! You have correctly identified the bacteria.

The BLAST search displays the matching sequences in the database in descending order of the degree of the match. The top scorer is Yersinia pestis.

Here is the description of this species from our reference section:

Yersinia pestis This is the bacteria that causes the plague, which has had a huge impact on human history. In the 14th century, possibly 25% of the total population of Europe was destroyed. The plague is still with us, even in the United States. The plague is ordinarily a disease of the rat, carried both by urban and rural rodents. The bacteria is transmitted from one rat to another by fleas. However, if the host rat dies, then the fleas seek another host, and can attach to a human and transmit the disease. When the bacteria enter the human bloodstream, they multiply in the lymph and blood, causing the lymph nodes in the groin and armpit to become swollen, accompanied by fever. If untreated, death can result within a week. The plague can also become pneumonic by entering the lungs which is particularly dangerous with a nearly 100% mortality rate. This form of plague can also be contagious by air.
