Details
| Description | "Yersinia bercovieri",the name was given to this species in the honor of "Herve Bercovier",who first described biogroups 3A and 3B and has made outstanding contributions to the taxonomy and ecology of yersiniae.Cells are gram-negative,oxidase-negative,fermentative rods that are motile by peritrichous flagella.This organism has a chemically distinct O antigen as well as exhibiting differences in carbohydrate metabolism as compared to other Yersinia spp.. Yersinia bercovieri also produces a unique enterotoxin which may play a role in the pathogenicity of this organism. |
| Synonyms | Yersinia enterocolitica biogroup 3B. |
| Habitat/Source | Yersinia bercovieri strains is isolated primarily from stool of diarrhea patients, animals, raw vegetables, soil,and water. |
| Pathogenicity | Neither human nor animal pathogenicity has been documented for this species. |
