Abstract |
Nine strains of Yersinia species isolated from pigs and dogs in Korea, comprising 5 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica, 2 strains of Y kristensenii and each strain of Y pseudotuberculosis and Y intermedia, were examined for the presence of virulence-associated plasmids, calcium dependency and provocation of guinea pig conjuntivitis($Ser{acute{e}}ny$ test). Three strains of Y enterocolitica isolated from pigs were positive in calcium dependency and harbored one plasmid of about 45 megadalton, but negative in $Ser{acute{e}}ny$ test. |
