Q

Most common Yersinia isolated from human. Causes enterocolitis. Most often encountered Yersinia in the lab. Invasive pathogen which can penetrate gut lining and enter the lymphatic system and blood. Infections are usually through an ingestion of contaminated food, which can cause a severe intestinal inflammation. Release of it’s enterotoxin cause a severe pain similar to that found in patients with appendicitis. Easily found because it has the ability to grown in a cold temp and motile at room temp.
