Objective:
To establish a highly efficient culture method for detecting Yersinia enterocolitica in stool samples from diarrheic patients.
Methods:
Stool samples collected from 200 diarrheic patients were detected with a modified and 3 conventional methods, and the positivity rates of the bacterium were compared statistically.
Results:
With the modified method, 18 positive samples for Yersinia enterocolitica were detected from 200 stool samples, while with the 3 conventional methods, only 3, 5, and 8 positive samples were identified, respectively. Statistical analysis with McNemer test suggested significant difference in the positive detection rate between the modified and the 3 conventional methods.
Conclusion:
The modified method for Yersinia enterocolitica detection has much higher sensitivity than the 3 conventional methods, and can be applied in clinical detection.
