Abstract:
A natural, lethal enteritis and septicaemia caused by Yersinia enterocolitica in an American Minipig piglet is reported. The isolated strain was identified as serotype O:3 and biotype 4. Pathomorphological examination of the animal revealed a severe fibrinonecrotic ileitis and typhlocolitis. Pyogranulomatous lesions were detected in regional lymph nodes and several organs.
