Abstract :
A total of 101 Yersinia enterocolitica strains was investigated with a PCR assay [Blais and Phillipe, Food Control, 6 (1995) 211–214] targeting the Yersinia adhesin gene (yadA) responsible for autoagglutination. Compared to the autoagglutination test the PCR assay has a specificity of 100% but a sensitivity of only 70%. This failure might be caused by the sequence heterogeneity of yadA.
