[yersinia enterocolitica--a still infrequently isolated pathogen in austria (author's transl)].	yersinia enterocolitica--recognized as a distinct taxonomic entity in 1964--belongs to the family of enterobacteriaceae. it has been isolated with increasing frequency from human and animal sources as well as from food and non-chlorinated water. yersinia enterocolitica can produce enteritis in man, accompanied or followed in adults by erythema nodosum, arthralgia and/or acute arthritis. rarely, septicaemia with a high mortality rate has been encountered. a cold-temperature enrichment method was ...	1979	433284
evaluation of some cold enrichment and isolation media for the recovery of yersinia enterocolitica.	an evaluation of several cold enrichment media for yersinia enterocolitica showed that the enrichment quotient achieved after 3 weeks at 4 degrees c was highly dependent on the initial cell concentration and the medium used. the latter should be of high nutritional value, in order to allow sufficient growth of yersinia enterocolitica at a low temperature. enrichment in typtone--soya broth yielded better results than in--frequently used--phosphate buffer, ph 7.6. while comparing isolation media f ...	1979	400084
yersinia enterocolitica among small wild mammals in france.	a survey of yersinia enterocolitica was made in two french areas (indre and alsace) in several components of the terrestrial ecosystem. y. enterocolitica has been isolated from several habitats and from numerous species of small mammals. the trap line method enabled us to estimate the density of the two abundant small mammal species, microtus arvalis and apodemus sylvaticus, and the densities of y. enterocolitica carriers. the frequency of isolation was high when temperatures were low, but did n ...	1979	400946
differentiation of selected enterobacteriaceae by pyrolysis-gas-liquid chromatography.	pyrolysis-gas-liquid chromatography was used to differentiate selected species of enterobacteriaceae. individual cultures of salmonella typhi, hafnia alvei, and proteus vulgaris, and 12 strains of yersinia enterocolitica were grown in nutrient broth. after harvest and lyophilization, the bacterial samples were pyrolyzed at 900 degrees c, and their volatile fractions were separated on a 50-m capillary column coated with carbowax 20m. the resulting pyrolysis elution patterns (pyrograms) of the fou ...	1979	393169
human gastrointestinal infections by yersinia enterocolitica.	in an average-sized peripheral hospital in belgium, y. enterocolitica has been isolated from 1.1% of stool cultures, using an unmodified routine technique. in a group of unselected patients undergoing appendicectomy, 1.3% of patients had a positive culture, either from the mesenteric lymph nodes or the appendix, or from both sources. in the same group of patients, 1.7% of cultures grew a salmonella. in more than half of the patients, the diagnosis of mesenteric adenitis was made during the surgi ...	1979	394918
the pathogenesis of yersinia enterocolitica gastroenteritis.	of nine y. enterocolitica serotypes examined by us, only type 3 was shown to be enteropathogenic. 3 of 16 strains recovered from clinical material, produced a heat-stable toxin similar to that reported in e. coli. a fourth isolate produced histological changes resembling those associated with salmonellae. the mechanism whereby the majority of y. enterocolitica strains produce diarrhoea is uncertain. our isolates may have lost a plasmid essential for enteropathogenicity, or they may resemble the ...	1979	394919
enrichment methods for recovery of yersinia enterocolitica from foods and raw milk.	modified rappaport broth used directly and in a two-step procedure with preliminary cold enrichment was evaluated for recovery of yersinia enterocolitica from laboratory-inoculated samples of ground meat, and naturally-occurring strains from raw milk. the use of modified rappaport broth generally improved recovery from both inoculated meats and raw milk, but results were not consistent between serotypes used for inoculation and between meat samples. the overall isolation rate for naturally-occur ...	1979	394916
testing for the recovery of yersinia enterocolitica in foods and their ability to invade hela cells.	tests have demonstrated that current enrichment methods may fail to detect low levels of some clinical strains of yersinia enterocolitica inoculated into meats and oysters and need improvement. the results of cold enrichment with phosphate and tripolyphosphate buffers were very poor and the sensitive clinical strain failed to grow in wauters' mgcl2 broth. twenty typical clinical strains of y. enterocolitica belonging to nilehn's biotypes 2, 3, and 4 had the ability to invade hela cells tissue cu ...	1979	394917
[purification and physico-chemical analysis of the fimbrial antigen in two different genera of enterobacteriacea: salmonella enteritidis and yersinia enterocolitica (author's transl)].	chemical, physical and immunological properties of the fimbrial antigen of two different genera of enterobacteriaceae, namely salmonella (s. enteritidis) and yersinia (y. enterocolitica) were analysed. only a few strains of these two bacterial genera possess a fimbrial antigen which proved to be identical in all tests. purified fimbriae are unstable in buffer solutions. they tend to form aggregates, patterns of which are between 240000 and 270000. submitted to solubility testing by various metho ...	1979	377854

the first successful isolation and identification of yersinia enterocolitica in iran.	since 1967, more than 2,000 specimens have been examined for the possible existence of yersinia enterocolitica in iran. most of the specimens were stool and appendices. for primary isolation ss and emb media were used and the cultures were incubated at 37 degrees c. in 1976 we isolated the first strain of y. enterocolitica from the stool of a 10-month-old girl. she was suffering from chronic diarrhea. this strain was the first strain of y. enterocolitica to be successfully isolated in iran. it b ...	1979	535378
isolation of yersinia enterocolitica from swine at an abattoir in sweden.	yersinia enterocolitica is presented from a taxonomic point of view. a review about the increased frequencies of isolations of y. enterocolitica from domestic and wild animals in europe is given. recent studies from different countries strongly suggest swine as a source of y. enterocolitica infection to humans. the frequencies of isolation of the o-group i (serotype 3) of this bacteria from swine at a swedish abattoir is presented. the occurrence of positive cases in lots of swine sent to slaugh ...	1979	535379

carriage of yersinia enterocolitica serotype 3 by pigs as a source of human infection.	bacteriological cultures were made from pigs' tongues bought in several belgian butchers' shops, for 3 years in succession. from 302 samples 168 yersinia enterocolitica strains were isolated, all of serotype 3, except three strains belonging to serotype 9. the isolation rate ranged from 53 to 62.5%, depending on the year. the modified rappaport broth supplemented with carbenicillin proved to be highly superior to the cold enrichment method for recovering the organism from this material. it is as ...	1979	535380
radiation resistance and injury of yersinia enterocolitica.	the d values of yersinia enterocolitica strains ip134, ip107, and wa, irradiated at 25 degrees c in trypticase soy broth, ranged from 9.7 to 11.8 krad. when irradiated in ground beef at 25 and -30 degrees c, the d value of strain ip107 was 19.5 and 38.8 krad, respectively. cells suspended in trypticase soy broth were more sensitive to storage at -20 degrees c than those mixed in ground beef. the percentages of inactivation and of injury (inability to form colonies in the presence of 3.0% nacl) o ...	1979	570017
occurrence of yersinia enterocolitica in the throat of swine.	yersinia enterocolitica serotype 0 3 was isolated from 84 (30%) of 282 throat swab cultures from bacon pigs at slaughter. other serotypes of y.e. were not isolated. all the isolations were made by the cold-enrichment method. the serum agglutinin titres against serotype 0 3 were low in most of the pigs examined. the rate of isolation of the organism increased with rising serum titre. in denmark, y.e. serotype 0 3 would appear to be a common inhabitant of the throat of swine.	1979	535381
yersinia enterocolitica in oneida county, new york.	in a 7-month study during and after an outbreak of yersiniosis in oneida, n.y., a total of 963 specimens were examined for yersinia enterocolitica. of the 103 y. enterocolitica isolates recovered, 91 were from oneida county. sixty-two (60.2%) were from humans including 52 from oneida county. the isolates from the outbreak were mainly serotype 0:8, which on biotypnig proved to be niléhn type 2, wauters type 1, knapp and thal type 2. the rest of the isolates were distributed among various biotypes ...	1979	575321
investigations of source and route of yersinia enterocolitica infection.	isolation of yersinia enterocolitica was performed on healthy humans, animals and food, and growth of y. enterocolitica on sliced ham at various temperature ranges was also examined. it was noticed that the most prevalent 0 group (03) in human infection was isolated from swine, pork and chopping boards. the storage of food in the refrigerator (5 degrees c) possibly increases the risk of infection since y. enterocolitica is multipliable at low temperatures more readily than many other pathogenic ...	1979	535369
comments on the ecology and epidemiology of yersinia enterocolitica in czechoslovakia.	on the basis of the information disseminated by the reference laboratory in 1968, the microbiological diagnosis of yersinia enterocolitica (ye) was gradually mastered by all czechoslovak microbiological laboratories. the most frequent serotype isolated in man was ye 03. isolation predominated from cases of diarrhoea, less often from appendectomies, and only one case of septicaemia was described. usually only sporadic cases occur and outbreaks are rare. a few strains of ye 05 were found in diarrh ...	1979	535370
