Abstract
The enteropathogenic Yersinia are two gram-negative bacterial species related to the causative agent of bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis. Yersinia enterocolitica causes a variety of intestinal diseases as well as mesenteric lymphadenitis, with outbreaks occurring primarily in cold-weather climates (Anderson et al. 1991; Tripoli et al. 1990). The most notable characteristic of Y. enterocolitica infections is that mild or inapparent bacterial infections may trigger a number of autoimmune disorders (Saario et al. 1992; Toivanen et al. 1993). These include thyroiditis and reactive arthritis, particularly in individuals harboring the HLA B27 histocompatibility allele (Maki et al. 1991; Toivanen and Toivanen 1994; Tomer and Davies 1993; Wenzel et al. 1991). Y. pseudotuberculosis causes enteric diseases and associated complications very similar to those seen with Y. enterocolitica (Fukushima 1991; Fukushima et al. 1990; Stahlberg et al. 1987).
