Abstract
SUMMARY. From patients in Nigeria with acute gastroenteritis, strains of Yersinia were isolated from 14 (1·3%) of 1082 specimens of faeces examined specifically for yersiniae by direct plating and after cold enrichment. Clinical significance was ascribed to six isolates of Y. enterocolitica (serotypes 03, 05,27 and 09) but not to seven isolates of Y. intermedia or one isolate of Y. frederikseni.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
