“…It has to be mentioned that the small and large intestines of the ground squirrels infected with serotype I and 111 of Y. pseudotuberculosis strains, did not demonstrate histological changes. In contrast to our results, BOTTONE (1981), SLEE et al (1988), BUTTON (1990), HARPER et al (1990), as well as CALLINAN et al, (1988) indicate that the serotype I11 is enteropathic and capable to cause an enteritis with microabscesses in the intestines of cattle, pigs and humans. The same was not found for the serotype I (SLEE and BUTTON, 1990).…”

Summary An experimental infection was induced in the European ground squirrel (Citellus citellus) by intraperitoneally injecting of 1 ml. of microbial suspension, containing 1 times 109 CFU (colony forming units) of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, serotypes I and III. The infectious process was dynamically followed up from the 1st up to the 30th day, respectively. Account was rendered to the general condition, the internal body temperature and the mortality rate. The phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages (aMa) and polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNL), isolated from the experimental animals, was also determined, as well as the degree of bacterial dissemination into the viscera and the histomorphological changes that found in the parenchymal organs. These investigations confirm the fact that the bacterial agent has a broad spectrum of alaterations in the organism of the host ‐ the European ground squirrel (Citellus citellus) in which the pseudotuberculosis developes as a generalized infection, especially pronounced in the animals that were infected with the serotype III.

“…However, New Zealand workers have also recovered Yersinia sp including Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica, Y. frederiksenii, Y. kristensenii and Y. intermedia from clinically normal animals (Henderson 1984;Hodges et 0/1984; Hodges and Carman 1985;BulIians 1987) casting doubt on the clinical significance of isolates of Yersinia sp from individual animals. Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype III enteritis has also been described in cattle in northern New South Wales (Callinan et al 1988) and from Canada (Lynch 1986).…”

The features of naturally occurring Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype III infections in 16 sheep, one goat and 3 pigs, and Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype I infections in 3 goats, are described. Affected animals usually had diarrhoea and were in poor condition or emaciated. A number were moribund or dead when submitted for necropsy. Thickening of the caecal and colonic mucosa was the only gross lesion attributable to Y. pseudotuberculosis infection, with liver or other visceral abscesses not being seen. Characteristic microabscesses were demonstrated in the intestinal mucosa of 10 sheep, one goat and one pig infected with Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype III and one goat infected with Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype I. Sheep, goats and pigs dosed orally with Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype III, the serotype isolated most commonly from these species, developed intestinal infection. In sheep and pigs, infection was accompanied by diarrhoea. Haematological changes and specific antibodies were elicited in all 3 species in response to infection. Microabscesses were seen in the intestinal mucosa of all experimentally exposed animals. The occurrence of field cases and the results of experimental exposure confirm that Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype III is an enteropathogen of sheep, goats and pigs. The association of Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype I with lesions in a goat, indicates that this bacterium may also be a pathogen of this species. It is concluded that Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype III is an enteric pathogen of a wide range of ungulate species including cattle, buffalo, deer, antelopes, sheep, goats and pigs. Serotypes I and II, while having a more restricted host range, are probably also pathogens of ungulates and, in particular, deer, antelopes and goats.

“…These were traced to YPST contamination in a school canteen (Interfax News, 2006). Yersinia pseudotuberculosis has been implicated in foodborne illness associated with iceberg lettuce, vegetable juice, sandwiches, barbecue, school lunches, pasteurized milk and pork (Tsubokura et al., 1989; Nowgesic et al., 1999; Public Health Agency of Canada, 1999; Nuorti et al., 2004; Tauxe, 2004) and also isolated from beef (Toma, 1986; Chiesa et al., 1993; Welsh and Stair, 1993), bovine feces (Fukushima et al., 1983), pork (Kot et al., 2007) and from the gastrointestinal tract of calves suffering from enteritis (Callinan et al., 1988; Slee et al., 1988; Brown and Davis, 1989). In ground beef processing plants, different portions of beef are combined and ground.…”

The growth kinetics of virulence plasmid-bearing Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (YPST) in sterile ground beef were studied at temperatures ranging from 0 to 30°C. In irradiated sterile ground beef, YPST replicated from 0 to 30°C, with corresponding growth rates (GR) ranging from 0.023 to 0.622 log CFU/h at 0-25°C, and the GR was 0.236 log CFU/h at 30°C. The maximum population densities (MPD) ranged from 8.7 to 11.0 log CFU/g. The growth and MPD of YPST were reduced significantly at 30°C. Models for GR and MPD of YPST in raw ground beef (RGB) as a function of storage temperatures were produced and displayed acceptable bias and accuracy. The models were validated with rifampicin-resistant YPST (rif-YPST) in sterile ground beef stored at 4, 10 and 25°C. The observed GR and MPD were within 95% of the predicted values. When compared to non-sterile retail ground beef, the growth of rif-YPST was not inhibited and displayed similar GR at 0, 10 and 25°C and MPDs as sterile ground beef at 10 and 25°C. Moreover, there was no loss of virulence plasmid in YPST during its growth in ground beef indicating that RGB contaminated with virulence plasmid-bearing YPST could cause disease due to refrigeration failure, temperature (10-25°C) abuse, and if the meat was not properly cooked.
