Details
| Description | Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a rod-shaped bacteria.This organism was first isolated in 1883 by Malassez and Vignal and is termed pseudotuberculosis since it causes lesions in the lung that are similar to those observed during tuberculosis infection. Pseudotuberculosis is related to Y. pestis which is the bacteria responsible for the bubonic plague. Yersinia pestis evolved from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. |
| Synonyms | Shigella pseudotuberculosis; Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis; Pasteurella lymphangitidis; Bacterium pseudotuberculosis; Bacillus pseudotuberkulosis. |
| Habitat/Source | t is ubiquitous in the environment and is a food and waterborne pathogen that affects animals as well as humans by causing gastroenteritis like Yersinia enterocolitica.Wild rodents historically have been important reservoir disease hosts for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The availability of rodent hosts in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The transmission of Yersinia pestis by fleas is affected by climate. The disease can be reproduced experimentally in guinea pigs challenged and in mice. |
| Pathogenicity | Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a pathogen of the gut. Yersina pseudotuberculosis is a human and animal pathogen responsible for mesenteric lymphadenitis, diarrhea, and septicemia. |
