Abstract excerpt
Eighty strains of Yersinia enterocolitica and related species isolated from slaughtered pigs and pork products were tested for possession of virulence-associated phenotypes by employing 12 in vivo and in vitro assays. The isolates could be broadly divided into two groups: (i) strains belonging to pathogenic bioserotypes of Y. enterocolitica that displayed virulence-associated characteristics in most or all assays...
