Yersinia enterocolitica in adults with gastrointestinal disturbances: need for cold enrichment.

A S Weissfeld, A C Sonnenwirth
PMCID: PMC273354  PMID: 6987264

Abstract

In a survey of hospitalized adults, cold enrichment of feces resulted in an incidence rate of Yersinia enterocolitica equal to that of Salmonella spp. Y. enterocolitica was not recovered by routine procedures.
