Detection of Yersinia pestis by comparison of virulence plasmid (PYV/PCD)-associated phenotypes in Yersinia species

2008-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Consumption of meat contaminated with Yersinia pestis can cause oro-pharyngeal plague in humans. Existing microbiological media designed for selective detection of Y. pestis in food are not satisfactory for that purpose. Expression of genetic determinants in Yersinia species including low calcium response (Lcr), colony size, crystal violet (CV) binding, Congo red (CR) uptake, autoagglutination (AA) and hydrophobic...
