Yersinia enterocolitica IgG antibodies

Yersinia enterocolitica is a gram negative bacterium that causes zoonoses in humans zoonotic diseases (zoonoses). It can be infected mainly by ingesting infected meat, milk, tofu or water, rarely by blood transfusion. Yersiniosis is an acute disease, characterized by diarrhea and inflammation of the lymph nodes of the mesenteric lymph nodes. As a gastrointestinal infection, the disease is not dangerous, while the development of sepsis increases the mortality rate to up to 50%. IgG antibodies appear last and persist in the bloodstream for several years. A positive result indicates a history of infection.
