Epidemiological Data on Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in Southern Germany During 2000–2006
Abstract
Yersinia enterocolitica is the most common species causing enteric yersiniosis, which is still the third most frequently reported foodborne gastroenteritis in Europe. Y. enterocolitica generally causes sporadic human infections, and outbreaks are rare. The most important infection source of yersiniosis is believed to be contaminated pork and pork products. Data on the prevalence of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in animals and foodstuffs are very limited and old; thus, more information on the extent and range of the prevalence of this enteropathogen in nonhuman sources is needed. In this work, prevalence of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in different sources in Bavaria is presented. Further, the antimicrobial resistance of human and nonhuman strains is reported. The highest isolation rate of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica (67%) was found in tonsils of slaughter pigs. No pathogenic strains were isolated from cattle, sheep, turkey, and horses. ail-Positive Y. enterocolitica was detected in dogs (5%), cats (3%), and rodents (3%) by real-time PCR. Pathogenic Y. enterocolitica was isolated only from raw pork, especially from edible offal (51%). Surprisingly, 38% of game was contaminated with this pathogen when the samples were studied with PCR. Additionally, some raw pork sausages and one poultry sample were PCR positive. All pathogenic Y. enterocolitica isolates from nonhuman sources were belonging to bioserotype 4/O:3. Antimicrobial resistance of 60 human and 140 porcine strains of bi…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
