Abstract
Yl enterocolitica was isolated from 5 of 1002 fecal samples taken from laboratory rats and mice, hamsters, dogs, cats, pigs, cattle, horses and deer. Two isolates were from dogs (2 of 202; 1%), and 1 from a pig (1 of 107; 0.9%). The 3 isolates were biotype 1. Atypical environmental Y. enterocolitica was isolated from a cow (1 of 141; 0.7%) and a horse (1 of 101; 1%). Isolates were not recovered from the other animal species.
