| Abstract: | In April and May 1983, a total of 124 samples of faeces from 124 swine was examined for the presence of Yersinia enterocolitica by a variety of isolation procedures. The organisms were recovered from 48˙4% of the swine, which all had diarrhoea. The strain belonged to serotypes 0: 3 and 0: 9 which are considered to be pathogenic for humans. |
