Isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica (0:5,27 biotype 2) from a common garter snake.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 0:5,27 biotype 2 was isolated from the intestinal contents of a common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis). The isolate possessed virulence associated phenotypes in all tests conducted. It was susceptible to amikacin, ampicillin/sulbactam, aztreonam, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, imipenem, mezlocillin, norfloxacin, piperacillin, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tobramycin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline. The isolate harbored the virulence plasmid.

Survey on the incidence of Yersinia enterocolitica infection in Canada.
Data pertaining to 278 cultures of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated in Canada are summarized in this paper. Of this amount, 256 were isolated from humans, whereas 22 were of nonhuman sources. The typing of these cultures is presented together with their geographical location. Y. enterocolitica serotype O:3 biotype 4, phage type 9b, was practically the only serotype present in the Province of Qu...

متن کاملDirect isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis from meat.
Studies were done to determine the usefulness of dilute alkali (KOH) treatment of meat samples for direct isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, without enrichment. Virulent Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis in pork contaminated with 10(2), 10(3), and 10(4) cells per g survived the direct KOH treatment and were never recovered by using KOH postenrichment...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:5,27 strains by phenotypic and molecular techniques.
Restriction endonuclease analyses of virulence plasmid DNA (REAP) and chromosomal DNA and other phenotypic characteristics were used to study the differentiation of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:5,27 strains. There was a close correlation between REAP patterns and the geographical distribution of serotype O:5,27. Human isolates produced only one REAP pattern, which was also found with isol...
