Among the Yersinia genus, Yersinia enterocolitica is one of the most common food borne pathogen. In several countries, Y.enterocolitica has eclipsed Shigella and approaches Salmonella and Campylobacter as the predominant cause of acute bacterial gastroenteritis. Its ability to grow at refrigeration temperature makes it an increasing concern in terms of food safety. This germ most commonly affects young individuals. However, only a few strains of Y.enterocolitica cause illness in humans. Those pathogenic Y.enterocolitica strains belong to biotypes 1B, 2, 3, 4, and 5, whereas biotype 1A strains are non-pathogenic and widespread in the environment. The major animal Y.enterocolitica reservoir causing illnesses are pigs.
