AB  - The  genus  Yersinia  is  a  member  of  the  Enterobacteriaceae  family  that  includes  eleven  species.  Y  enterocolitica  is  most  important  as  a  cause  of  foodborne  illness.  Yersinia  enterocolitica  is  a  small  pleomorphic  gram-negative,  non-spore-forming  coccobacillus.  The  organism  has  been  classified  into  6  biotypes  and  into  more  than  60  serotypes.  The  serotypes  most  often  associated  with  human  disease  are  0:3,  0:5,  0:8,  0:9,  0:13,  and  0:27.  Human  illness  can  occur  after  consumption  of  Y  enterocolitica-contaminated  food,  animal  waste,  and  unchlorinated  water.1,2This  organism  may  survive  and  grow  during  refrigerated  storage.
