Plague Ulcer

**Plague ulcer** is a bacterial infectious disease. Sometimes called acute or typical, since this is the most common course of the disease today. **Causes of plague ulcers.** The bacterium that causes plague, Yersinia pestis, secretes proteolytic enzymes that cause necrosis of soft tissues. Infection occurs due to contact with infected animal tissues and human carriers of the infection. The pathogen enters the body through damage to the skin, mucous membranes, and wounds.
