Looks like the different types of plague don't correlate to different strains.
http://www.cdc.gov/plague/symptoms/index.html

Plague symptoms depend on how the patient was exposed to the plague bacteria. Plague can take different clinical forms, but the most common are bubonic, pneumonic and septicemic.

Might find more info here on the different strains.
