Characterization of a Yersinia enterocolitica antigen common to enterocolitis-associated serotypes

R Díaz et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1985 Dec.

Abstract

Yersinia enterocolitica synthesized an exocellular antigen common to the serotypes associated with enterocolitis but absent from other serotypes or from other Yersinia species. Both virulent Ca2+-dependent and avirulent Ca2+-independent isogenic pairs derived from the enterocolitis-associated serotypes synthesized the common antigen. Requirements for the synthesis of this common antigen were (i) the presence of metabolizable sugars and (ii) growth on a solid medium at 37 degrees C. The antigen was identified as a 24,000-dalton protein loosely associated with the cell surface but absent from either the cell envelope or the cytoplasmic fraction.
