Real-time TaqMan PCR for Yersinia enterocolitica detection based on the ail and foxA genes.

Yersinia enterocolitica, a cause of emerging enteric infections, is a foodborne pathogen associated with various enteric and systemic syndromes, e.g., diarrhea, enteritis, and enterocolitis. Therefore, the detection of this pathogen has important significance. Previous real-time PCR for detection of Y. enterocolitica was primarily based on the ail gene; biotype 1A nonpathogenic strains were not...

Pathogenic properties of Yersinia enterocolitica.

A total of 88 isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica was examined for heat-stable enterotoxin production and ability to penetrate HeLa cells and evoke keratoconjunctivitis in guinea pigs (Séreny test) as potential pathogenic properties. All 49 isolates belonging to serotypes O:3, O:8, O:9, and O:5,27 and only 5 of 39 strains of other serotypes were HeLa positive. Séreny-positive strains were found...

Identification of pathogenic serotypes of Yersinia enterocolitica.

New strain of Yersinia enterocolitica pathogenic for rodents.

A strain of Yersinia enterocolitica, biotype 2, serotype 8, isolated from the blood of a human patient has been found to be highly pathogenic for rodents.
