Enterotoxin production and thermal resistance of Yersinia enterocolitica in milk.

D W Francis, P L Spaulding, J Lovett
PMCID: PMC291544  PMID: 7190810

Abstract

Three of 36 raw milk isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica produced enterotoxin in milk at 25 degrees C, but not at 4 degrees C. No strain tested could survive pasteurization.
