[Evaluation of the usefulness of selected virulence markers for identification of virulent Yersinia enterocolitica strains. II. Genotypic markers associated with the pYV plasmid].

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic strains of Yersinia enterocolitica bear virulence associated plasmid pYV. Unfortunately plasmid pYV is easily lost by these bacteria incubated at elevated temperatures (37 degrees C) or long stored at room temperatures. This sometimes makes difficult the detection of the virulence plasmid, especially by its isolation or biochemical tests. On the other hand, observations done by some authors suggest...
