PCR detection of virulence genes in Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and investigation of virulence gene distribution
Article Abstract:
This article describes the development of a polymerase chain reaction based assay for detecting plasmid- and chromosome-borne five virulence genes of Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis and their distribution in other Yesinia isolates. Data indicate that 40 isolates are positive for inv gene, 88% containing the virulence plasmid genes yadA and IcrF.

virF-Positive Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica found in migratory birds in Sweden
Article Abstract:
The authors have investigated fecal samples from the migratory birds. The occurrence of pathogenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica in the birds' feces, and the virulence properties of isolated Yersinia species have been examined and discussed.
