After the bacterium kills the macrophages, the bacterium is spread through the lymph nodes as the lymph nodes drain. This is where they reproduce and replicate to make copies. All this causes the swelling of the lymph nodes and even rupturing lymph nodes throughout the process of the infection. This is a prime example of what doctors use to diagnose bubonic plague.
