Molecular heterogeneity in Yersinia enterocolitica and 'Y. enterocolitica-like' species--Implications for epidemiology, typing and taxonomy.

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia enterocolitica is an extremely heterogeneous species. Serotyping and biotyping have been used extensively, in the past, to study its heterogeneity and epidemiology. Application of methods like ribotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and a host of other genomic techniques have further revealed molecular heterogeneity in this species. Furthermore, these methods may be used effectively to supplement...
