ABSTRACT PCR-based assays were developed for the detection of plasmid-and
chromosome-borne virulence genes in Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia …

Yersinia enterocolitica, an important food-and water-borne enteric pathogen, is represented
by six biovars viz. 1A, 1B and 2–5. Some biovar 1A strains, despite lacking virulence …

The virulence of yersiniae varies according to (i) species and biotype and (ii) possession of
a 67-to 72-kilobase virulence plasmid. Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and biotypes 1B, 2 …

Yersinia enterocolitica is the causative agent of yersiniosis, a zoonotic disease of growing
epidemiological importance with significant consequences for public health. This pathogenic …

We developed a polymerase chain reaction method in order to detect and identify both
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica. Polymerase chain …

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to detect the presence of the
ail, yst, and virF genes of Yersinia enterocolitica simultaneously, quickly and accurately. The …

Sensitivity to Yersinia pestis bacteriocin pesticin correlates with the existence of two groups
of human pathogenic yersiniae, mouse lethal and mouse nonlethal. The presence of the …

Yersinia enterocolitica is an important enteric pathogen which has well-defined virulence
determinants that allow the bacteria to become established in their hosts and overcome host …

Although Yersinia enterocolitica is usually transmitted through contaminated food and
untreated water, occasional transmission such as human‐to‐human, animal‐to‐human and …

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica are closely related human
pathogens causing gastroenteritis. Invasin and YadA are two of the most extensively studied …
