Over the past 40 years, 767 Yersinia strains have been identified and typed by the National Reference Center on Yersinia spp. other than Y. pestis, using the classical biochemical tests for species characterization. The strains were further classified into biotypes, serotypes and phagetypes when pertinent. These tests led to the identification of Yersinia cultures belonging to the species Y. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii and Y. kristensenii. Six isolates could not be classified in any of the known Yersinia species and for this reason were defined as Non-typable (NT). The bio-sero-phagetypes of these strains were diverse. The following species of Yersinia were not identified among the Brazilian strains by the classical phenotypic or biochemical tests: Y. aldovae, Y. rhodei, Y. mollaretti, Y. bercovieri and Y. ruckeri. The Yersinia strains were isolated from clinical material taken from sick and/or healthy humans and animals, from various types of food and from the environment, by investigators of various Institutions localized in different cities and regions of Brazil.1-16engBrazilOccurrenceYersinia spp.waterbacterial virulencebacterium culturebacterium identificationbacterium isolationbiotypefood analysisfood contaminationhumannonhumanphenotypereviewserotypewater analysisYersiniaYersinia aldovaeYersinia bercovieriYersinia enterocoliticayersinia frederikseniiyersinia intermediayersinia kristenseniiYersinia mollarettiYersinia pestisYersinia pseudotuberculosisYersinia rhodeiYersinia ruckeriyersiniosisArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-543491157272-s2.0-54349115727.pdf
