Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus Vibrio cholerae, including O1 and non-O1 Vibrio parahaemolyticus Vibrio vulnificus Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Less common bacterial agents:[citation needed] Brucella spp. (wikipedia.org)
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a cold-tolerant bacterial species in the family Enterobacteriaceae that most commonly causes foodborne illness, typically enterocolitis or mesenteric lymphadenitis (pseudoappendicitis) in children. (medscape.com)
First isolated in 1883 , Y pseudotuberculosis is a gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the genus Yersinia in the Enterobacteriaceae family. (medscape.com)
Because of its 97% DNA homology with the agent that causes plague , Yersinia pestis, Y pseudotuberculosis is believed to have been the progenitor of the plague bacillus and is considered a model of bacterial evolution. (medscape.com)
Outbreaks1
Many Y pseudotuberculosis outbreaks have occurred in zoos, animal-holding areas, and laboratory facilities. (medscape.com)
Bacterial1
Corynebacterium ulcerans Coxiella burnetii or Q fever Plesiomonas shigelloides In addition to disease caused by direct bacterial infection, some foodborne illnesses are caused by enterotoxins (exotoxins targeting the intestines). (wikipedia.org)
Strains2
massiliense infections at a cystic fibrosis center in the United States were compared with 6 strains from an outbreak at a cystic fibrosis center in the United Kingdom and worldwide strains. (cdc.gov)
It can be associated with postinfectious complications such as erythema nodosum and reactive arthritis , and strains of Y pseudotuberculosis found in Asia appear to produce a superantigen-associated toxic erythema illness suggestive of scarlet fever. (medscape.com)
Mammals1
Y pseudotuberculosis infection occurs worldwide but appears to be most common as sporadic disease in northern Europe and Asia, primarily as a zoonotic infection of rabbits and other mammals and birds. (medscape.com)
Humans3
Even adjusting for underreporting and difficulty in microbiological isolation, Y pseudotuberculosis appears to be a relatively rare pathogen in humans. (medscape.com)
Common prion diseases include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease) in cattle, scrapie in sheep and goats and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids (mule deer, white-tailed deer, American elk, moose, and reindeer). (infectiousconferences.com)
Huge efforts have been undertaken in many laboratories around the world to understand the public health risks posed by prions from animals ever since BSE was found in 1990's to cause variant CJD (vCJD) in humans. (infectiousconferences.com)
Common2
Y pseudotuberculosis is common in wild animals and pork and may be transmitted by cross-contamination during food preparation. (medscape.com)
The most common clinical Y pseudotuberculosis syndromes are self-limited enterocolitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis (pseudoappendicitis), but septicemia may occur in immunocompromised hosts, resulting in metastatic infection. (medscape.com)
Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy as well as partial sequencing of the genes for 16S rRNA and RNA polymerase beta subunit (rpoB) clearly identified both strains as Corynebacterium ulcerans. (nih.gov)
Partial DNA sequencing of this tox gene showed significant differences from sequences described for other Corynebacterium ulcerans strains and a higher degree of similarity to that of Corynebacterium diphtheria. (nih.gov)
These results indicate that wild game could be a reservoir for zoonotic Corynebacterium ulcerans. (nih.gov)
Nontoxigenic tox-bearing Corynebacterium ulcerans infection among game animals, Germany. (nih.gov)
Corynebacterium ulcerans Coxiella burnetii or Q fever Plesiomonas shigelloides In addition to disease caused by direct bacterial infection, some foodborne illnesses are caused by enterotoxins (exotoxins targeting the intestines). (wikipedia.org)
Strains3
Two Corynebacterium strains were isolated from lymph nodes of wild boars showing severe alterations caused by caseous lymphadenitis. (nih.gov)
massiliense infections at a cystic fibrosis center in the United States were compared with 6 strains from an outbreak at a cystic fibrosis center in the United Kingdom and worldwide strains. (cdc.gov)
It can be associated with postinfectious complications such as erythema nodosum and reactive arthritis , and strains of Y pseudotuberculosis found in Asia appear to produce a superantigen-associated toxic erythema illness suggestive of scarlet fever. (medscape.com)
Zoonotic2
Indeed, this finding highlights the importance of the zoonotic aspect of mycobacterial diseases and proves the value of molecular characterization in the tuberculosis surveillance. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
Y pseudotuberculosis infection occurs worldwide but appears to be most common as sporadic disease in northern Europe and Asia, primarily as a zoonotic infection of rabbits and other mammals and birds. (medscape.com)
Infection3
The only significant finding was more severe thrombocytopenia among patients with P. ovale wallikeri infection than among those with P. ovale curtisi infection (p = 0.031). (cdc.gov)
the co-infection Mycobacterium bovis/Mycobacterium avium found in a poultry farmer was the first such co-infection in Chad related to human tuberculosis. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
The most common clinical Y pseudotuberculosis syndromes are self-limited enterocolitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis (pseudoappendicitis), but septicemia may occur in immunocompromised hosts, resulting in metastatic infection. (medscape.com)
