Detection of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in environmental waters by PCR

Abstract excerpt

The isolation of pathogenic strains of Yersinia enterocolitica from food and water samples by culture is time-consuming and unreliable. A two-step PCR procedure has been developed which, after a period of bacterial enrichment, can detect and confirm the presence of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica within a single day. This PCR method works effectively for a range of environmental water types, including reticulated...
