The World Health Organization has sought information from Russia regarding the death of a research worker at a Siberian plague laboratory, though Russian officials stated that contacts tested negative for pneumonic plague and tests showed no associated microorganisms. Pneumonic plague is a severe, rapidly incubating lung infection and the most virulent form of plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. While nearly always fatal if untreated, it responds well to early antibiotic treatment and can spread through infected animal contact, flea bites, or human-to-human transmission via infectious respiratory droplets.
