- A new multiplex PCR method has been created to quickly and accurately diagnose three types of pathogenic Yersinia bacteria, including the highly harmful Y. enterocolitica.
- The method uses four specific primer pairs to identify genes linked to the virulence of these bacteria, resulting in distinct band patterns for each Yersinia strain.
- This technique can detect extremely low levels of bacteria (as low as 10-10 CFU per reaction) and has proven effective on fecal samples from wild rodents that tested positive for Y. enterocolitica O8.
From 2012 to 2021, prevalence of pathogenic Yersinia in wild rodents captured in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan was investigated twice a year to clarify the ecology of this pathogen in wild rodent populations. Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica O8 was isolated from 13 (1.7%) of 755 wild rodents.
