Assessment of virulence determinants in Yersinia enterocolitica 1A, O:5 strains isolated from chicken carcasses
The virulence potential associated with 42-45 MDa plasmid pYV, of three Yersinia enterocolitica, 1A, O:5, strains isolated previously from chicken carcasses was tested by plasmid extraction, and by four in vitro tests: (1) Autoagglutination; (2) Calcium dependence for growth at 37°C; (3) Congo Red a...

The virulence potential associated with 42-45 MDa plasmid pYV, of three Yersinia enterocolitica, 1A, O:5, strains isolated previously from chicken carcasses was tested by plasmid extraction, and by four in vitro tests: (1) Autoagglutination; (2) Calcium dependence for growth at 37°C; (3) Congo Red and Crystal Violet binding; and (4) Resistance to the bactericidal effect of serum.
