Yersinia enterocolitica is a species of gram-negative coccobacillus-shaped bacterium, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Primarily a zoonotic disease (cattle, deer, pigs, and birds), animals which recover frequently become asymptomatic carriers of the disease.
Yersinia enterocolitica is a heterogeneous group of strains, classified into 6 biogroups, and into more than 57 O serogroups. The human pathogenic strains most frequently isolated worldwide belong to serogroups O:3, O:5,27, O:8 and O:9. The major route of Y. enterocolitica infection is through contaminated foods or causing gastrointestinal infections which are usually self-limiting. PMID: 22019131
