Waterborne Yersinia enterocolitica in the midwest United States

T N Saari et al. Contrib Microbiol Immunol. 1979.

Abstract

One hundred forty strains of waterborne Y. enterocolitica were isolated from Wisconsin and Colorado rivers, lakes and wells between October 1974 and March 1976- Direct-plating of unconcentrated water specimens on deoxycholate-citrate-mannitol (Y-M) agar resulted in 89 isolates. Prolonged incubation of specimens in cooked meat broth produced 51 additional strains. Most organisms were indole-positive, Niléln biotype 1 with 24% belonging to the rhamnophilum subgroup. Twenty-three serotypes were represented with 13% reacting as 0:4,32/33, 43% of the isolates could not be serotyped. Twelve organisms were phagetyped as either XO or XZ.
