Yersinia in food: recommendations for protection against infections
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The consumption of food contaminated with Yersinia can lead to gastrointestinal infections. The cause for this so-called yersiniosis are the species Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis. Yersinia are rod-shaped bacteria which are very common in our environment. The main reservoir for Yersinia enterocolitica are pigs, meaning that the bacteria can be found in raw pork. For Yersinia pseudotuberculosis wild animals are probably the most important reservoir.

YopE specific CD8+ T cells provide protection against systemic and mucosal Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection
Prior studies indicated that CD8+ T cells responding to a surrogate single antigen expressed by Y. pseudotuberculosis, ovalbumin, were insufficient to protect against yersiniosis. Herein we tested the hypothesis that CD8+ T cells reactive to the natural Yersinia antigen YopE would be more effective at providing mucosal protection. We first confirmed that immunization with the attenuated ksgA- s...

Background:Yersinia is a genus in the family Enterobacteriaceae that its species includeYersinia enterocolitica, Yersinia intermedia, Yersinia frederiksenii, and Yersinia kristensenii. Among these species, Yersinia enterocolitica is the most important one that causes various diseases such as gastroenteritis, mesenteric lymph...
متن کاملYersinia in effluents from the food-processing industry.
Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are current sources of pathogenic strains in humans and animals. Yersiniae infections occur throughout the world, but are most prevalent in regions with moderate and subtropical climates. In Australia, Central Europe and North America, cases of human infections with Yersinia enterocolitica now rank in third place. The food-processing indus...
متن کاملAmbiguous role of interleukin-12 in Yersinia enterocolitica infection in susceptible and resistant mouse strains.
Endogenous interleukin-12 (IL-12) mediates protection against Yersinia enterocolitica in C57BL/6 mice by triggering gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) production in NK and CD4+ T cells. Administration of exogenous IL-12 confers protection against yersiniae in Yersinia-susceptible BALB/c mice but exacerbates yersiniosis in resistant C57BL/6 mice. Therefore, we wanted to dissect the different mechanism...
متن کاملVaccination of mice with a Yop translocon complex elicits antibodies that are protective against infection with F1- Yersinia pestis.
Yersinia pestis, the bacterial agent of plague, secretes several proteins important for pathogenesis or host protection. The F1 protein forms a capsule on the bacterial cell surface and is a well-characterized protective antigen but is not essential for virulence. A type III secretion system that is essential for virulence exports Yop proteins, which function as antiphagocytic or anti-inflammat...
