| Abstract | ||||
| During the last years the knowledge of the ecology of Yersinia enterocolitica has become more and more documented. These bacteria have been isolated from a variety of foods including raw milk in different countries: in Canada (Schiemann, 1978), in Australia (Hughes, 1979), (in Denmark (Christensen, 1980), in Finnland (Hanninen and Raevouri, 1981), in Sweden (Norberg, 1981), in France (Vidon and Delmas, 1981), in Czechoslovakia (Swaminathan et al., 1982) and the USA (Shayegani et al., 1979 and Moustafa et al., 1983) but in Federal Republic of Germany Y. intermedia and kristensenil could be isolated from raw milk (Stengel, 1984). In other respects, this organism is able to multiply at normal refrigeration temperature (Stern et al.;, 1980) and the pathogenic role of this bacterium in human beings 4s a causative agents of acute gastroenteritis; terminal ileitis, mesenteric lymphadenitis septicemia; meningitis, skin and eye infections has been well established (Winblad, 1973 and Bottone, 1977). On the other hand, some outbreaks of foodborne infection caused by Y. enterocolitica were reported by Asakawa, et al. (1973); Black, et (1978) and Centres for disease control (1983). | ||||
