Abstract:
The fermenting ability of 380 strains of Yersinia spp. on esculin, L-fucose and D-arabitol was studied. All the strains of Y. enterocolitica belonging to biotype 2 serotype 0:9 and to biotype 4 serotype 0:3 failed to utilize such carbohydrates; the strains belonging to the other bioserotypes as well as the strains of Y. enterocolitica-like showed different reactions.
