Yersinia enterocolitica is widely distributed and can be found in raw vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat, soy products, salads, oysters, clams and shrimp. It also exists in the environment, such as lakes, rivers, soil and vegetation. The bacteria have been isolated from the feces of domestic animals, dogs, cats, goats, squirrels, mink and primates. Around the harbour, many birds, including waterfowl and seagulls, may be carriers.
Yersinia enterocolitica is a pathogen of acute gastroenteritis-type food poisoning that attracted attention in the 1930s and is a zoonotic disease. The incubation period is about 3-7 days after ingestion, and it has been reported that the onset is 11 days. The course of the disease is usually 1-3 days, but some cases last 5-14 days or longer. The main symptoms are fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, arthritis, and sepsis. The typical symptoms of Yersiniasis are gastrointestinal inflammation, fever, and can cause appendicitis. Some cause reactive arthritis. Another complication is sepsis, a blood system infection that, although rare, has a higher mortality rate. The bacteria are infants and young children who are susceptible to infection, and often cause fever, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. [1]
