Molecular typing of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from livestock in Brazil

R. A. Souza, Imori, P. F. M., Passaglia, J., Pitondo-Silva, A., and Falcão, J. P., Molecular typing of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from livestock in Brazil, vol. 12, pp. 4869-4878, 2013.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis can infect a broad range of animals. In Brazil, this bacterium has been isolated from healthy and sick animals from sporadic cases and outbreaks of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis among livestock. However, the molecular diversity of these isolates is little understood. In this study, we used multilocus sequence typing, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to genotype 40 Y.
