Abstract: | Based on differences within the yopT-coding region of Yersinia. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. pestis, a rapid and sensitive one-step polymerase chain reaction assay with high specificity for pathogenic Y. enterocolitica was developed. By this method pathogenic isolates of Y. enterocolitica can be easily identified and discriminated from other members of this genus. The entire coding sequence of the yopT effector gene of Y. pseudotuberculosis Y36 was determined. |
