<i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i>: Mode of Transmission, Molecular Insights of Virulence, and Pathogenesis of Infection

Abstract excerpt

Although Yersinia enterocolitica is usually transmitted through contaminated food and untreated water, occasional transmission such as human-to-human, animal-to-human and blood transfusion associated transmission have also identified in human disease. Of the six Y. enterocolitica biotypes, the virulence of the pathogenic biotypes, namely, 1B and 2-5 is attributed to the presence of a highly conserved 70-kb...
