Differentiation of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:5,27 strains by phenotypic and molecular techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 isolates from pigs and dogs.

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 کاملPathogenic properties of Yersinia enterocolitica.
A total of 88 isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica was examined for heat-stable enterotoxin production and ability to penetrate HeLa cells and evoke keratoconjunctivitis in guinea pigs (Séreny test) as potential pathogenic properties. All 49 isolates belonging to serotypes O:3, O:8, O:9, and O:5,27 and only 5 of 39 strains of other serotypes were HeLa positive. Séreny-positive strains were found...
متن کاملIsolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from swine.
Data pertaining to 20 strains of Yensinia enterocolitica isolated from the cecal content of swine slaughtered at Toronto Abattoirs are presented. Fifteen of 20 cultures belonged to the two predominant human serotypes in Ontario (i.e., serotype O:3 and O:5,27.) Seven cultures of Y. enterocolitica O:3 belonged to the "Canadian" human phage type 9b. These findings are further proof that swine are ...
متن کاملAntigenic relationships among type strains of Yersinia enterocolitica and those of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., and Shigella spp.
The antigenic type strains for Yersinia enterocolitica antigens O:1 to O:34 were examined and their antigenic relationships with the type strains of Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp. were determined. Y. enterocolitica O:5,27 was antigenically identical to E. coli O97 and Y. enterocolitica O:11 was antigenically identical to E. coli O98.

Sixty strains of Yersinia enterocolitica from five serogroups (O:3; O:9; O:8; O:5; and O:5,27) and eight non-Y. enterocolitica strains, recovered from diverse sources (humans, animals, food, and the environment) in Europe, Argentina, and the United States, were examined by the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) technique of contour clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis (CHEF) ...
