BACKGROUND Yersinia species, especially Yersinia enterocolitica, are considered as the most prevalent milk-borne pathogens. Several serological and molecular techniques have been developed for rapid and safe diagnosis of yersiniosis. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to assess the prevalence rate of Yersinia species, especially Y. enterocolitica, in milk and dairy products in Isfahan prov...

The incidence of human and nonhuman infections of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in Canada is presented on the basis of a literature review and serotyping of 101 cultures referred to the Canadian National Reference Center for Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

Infected aneurysms caused by Yersinia are very uncommon and are principally due to Yersinia enterocolitica. We describe the first case of an infected aneurysm caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in an elderly patient with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Yersinia spp. were sought in 618 fecal samples from cows. Four strains of Yersinia enterocolitica, serotype O:12,26 (one), O:13,7 (two), and O:18 (one); seven strains of Yersinia kristensenii, serotype O:11,24 (five) and O:12,26 (two); and one strain of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype IIB, were isolated. This is the first time that Y. pseudotuberculosis has been isolated from cows in Japan...

BACKGROUND The presence of certain oral pathogens at implant sites can hinder the osseointegration process. However, it is unclear how and by what microorganisms it happens. OBJECTIVES This study investigated whether the presence of oral pathogens of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia individually, play a role in the failure of bone formation by determining the expression prof...

Alpinia intermedia, a perennial plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, has been used in folk medicine for a long time in the southern region of Japan. Because skin care is an effective approach that enables patients to manage their atopic dermatitis (AD), various herbal ingredients with few adverse effects have been evaluated for use in AD patients in recent years. In this study, we ex...

Prevotella intermedia, a major periodontal pathogen, is increasingly implicated in human respiratory tract and cystic fibrosis lung infections. Nevertheless, the specific mechanisms employed by this pathogen remain only partially characterized and poorly understood, largely due to its total lack of genetic accessibility. Here, using Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) genome and methylome sequenc...

1. Biosynthesis in the lead-haematoxylin positive pars intermedia cells of Sarotherodon mossambicus was analysed by SDS and acid-urea electrophoresis and high pressure liquid chromatography. 2. Pulse and pulse-chase experiments revealed that a non-glycosylated 30K-precursor was processed into a number of smaller products. 3. Melanotropic and endorphin-like peptides appeared to be the final prod...

Patients who develop reactive arthritis after yersinia enteritis are characterised by high and persisting IgA-anti-yersinia antibodies. We have further analysed the humoral immune response to yersinia in this condition. Total concentrations of IgM, IgG, IgA, and secretory IgA in the serum and specific anti-yersinia antibodies belonging to IgA1, IgA2, or secretory IgA were compared in patients w...

This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of essential oils Cuminum cyminum (CEO) Foeniculum vulgare (FEO) on clinically isolated Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) Prevotella intermedia intermedia). Subgingival plaque samples were collected from periodontal pockets (≥6 mm) patients with generalized severe periodontitis. Microbiological molecular tests p...
