چکیده

A medium, lysine-arginine-iron agar, was developed for the presumptive identification of Yersinia enterocolitica isolates. This medium was a modification of lysine-iron agar and allowed for the testing of five biochemical characteristics in a single tube medium. The reactions of Y. enterocolitica on this medium were reliable and distinctive. The medium significantly simplified the identification of Y. enterocolitica isolates.

Use of a single procedure for selective enrichment, isolation, and identification of plasmid-bearing virulent Yersinia enterocolitica of various serotypes from pork samples.

Many selective enrichment methods for the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from foods have been described. However, no single isolation procedure has been described for the recovery and identification of various plasmid-bearing serotypes. A single improved procedure for selective enrichment, isolation, identification, and maintenance of plasmid-bearing virulent serotypes of Y. enterocolitic...

CHROMagar Yersinia, a new chromogenic agar for screening of potentially pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica isolates in stools.

CHROMagar Yersinia (CAY) is a new chromogenic medium for the presumptive detection of virulent Yersinia enterocolitica in stools. Based on a comparative analysis of 1,494 consecutive stools from hospitalized patients, CAY was found to be just as sensitive as the reference medium (cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin agar) but was significantly more specific and had a very low false-positive rate. CAY ...

Membrane filter technique for the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica.

A membrane filter procedure was developed for the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from aquatic environments. Primary differentiation was based on the fermentation of sorbitol, the absence of lysine decarboxylase and arginine decarboxylase-dihydrolase activities, and the production of urease. Sodium deoxycholate was incorporated as an inhibitor of background organisms. The presumptive ident...
