Unusual, Virulence Plasmid-Dependent Growth Behavior of <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i> in Three-Dimensional Collagen Gels
12 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
As a first approach to establishing a three-dimensional culture infection model, we studied the growth behavior of the extracellular pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica in three-dimensional collagen gels (3D-CoG). Surprisingly, we observed that plasmidless Y. enterocolitica was motile in the 3D-CoG in contrast to its growth in traditional motility agar at 37 degrees C. Motility at 37 degrees C was abrogated in the...
