Identity and discuss a bacterial disease that caused a historically important plague or epidemic. What is the modern distribution of this disease? a. Bubonic plague caused by Yersinia pestis was a pandemic that occurred in the 14th century. In modern times, there are only about 100 cases of bubonic plague each year. The bacterium responds well to modern antibiotics. b. Bubonic plague caused by Yersinia enterocolitica was a pandemic that occurred in the 14 th century.
