Introduction And Purpose: Yersinia enterocolitica belongs to the family of Enterobacteriaceae and is a psychrophilic pathogen that is associated with foodborne infections. It usually causes gastroenteritis, mesenteric lymphadenitis, and septicemia. This study aimed to molecular detection, biotyping, and serotyping of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from chicken livers in Tabriz.

Materials And Methods: One hundred chicken liver samples were collected randomly from poultry slaughterhouses in Tabriz for three months. After enrichment process, the presence of Yersinia enterocolitica in studied samples was determined through culture-based methods, biochemical and molecular tests. Then the biotype and serotype of the isolates were determined.

Results: 31 samples (31%) were positive for Yersinia enterocolitica by both phenotypic and molecular assays. Among positive samples, 25 (80.64%) had non-pathogenic biotype 1 A with serotype O: 5 (23 samples) and O: 8 (2 samples). 6 (19.36%) had biotype 1B and all of them had O: 3 serotype. The serotype Yersinia enterocolitica O: 9 was not found.

Conclusion: the present study highlighted the significance of chicken liver as potential source of Yersinia enterocolitica infection in Tabriz city.

This study aimed to characterize Salmonella and Yersinia enterocolitica detected in fattening pigs in Sardinia, examining genetic similarity and antimicrobial resistance of isolates from farms and slaughterhouses and evaluating carcass hygiene. Environmental samples were collected from six pig farms, and the same pigs were also sampled at the slaughterhouses. Palatine tonsils, mesenteric lymph nodes, colon content, and carcass surface samples were collected and tested for Salmonella and Y.

Objective: Bacterial gastroenteritis is a significant public health concern, capable of causing severe infections. Among the various pathogens involved, those belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family are the most frequently isolated and associated with gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of common diarrheagenic Enterobacteriaceae in Iran over the past two decades, from 2000 to 2023.

We have recently demonstrated a novel anaerobic NADH-dependent haem breakdown reaction, which is carried out by a range of haemoproteins. The Yersinia enterocolitica protein, HemS, is the focus of further research presented in the current paper. Using conventional experimental methods, bioinformatics, and energy landscape theory (ELT), we provide new insight into the mechanism of the novel breakdown process.
