YERSINIA KRISTENSENII
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Yersinia |
| Species: | Yersinia kristensenii |
| Description: | Yersinia kristensii",is named after the Danish microbiologist Martin Kristensen, who first isolated this organism.It is Gram-negative. It is potentially infectious to mice. It secretes a bacteriocin that targets related species.They tend to behave more like opportunistic pathogens than true pathogens. |
| Synonyms: | Yersinia kristensenii Bercovier et al. 1981 |
| Source: | kristensenii strains have been isolated mainly from environmental sources such as soil, fresh water, foods, and rarely from healthy human and animal carriers. Yersinia kristensenii may occasionally be associated with human enteritis (Bottone and Robin, 1977). |
| Pathogenicity: | It is potentially infectious to mice. It secretes a bacteriocin that targets related species.Yersinia kristensenii isolates may be lethal to mice pretreated with iron dextrin (Robins-Browne et al.,1991). |
