It is seen frequently in infants and young children who can present with severe, often life-threatening symptoms. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

However, genomic sequencing has uncovered a host of other adhesins present in these organisms, the functions of which are only starting to be investigated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Plethora

  A large repertoire of RNA-based regulatory mechanisms, including a plethora of cis- and trans-acting noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), sensory RNA elements, regulatory RNA-binding proteins, and RNA-degrading enzymes have been uncovered lately as key players in [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Vietnamese

  A 49 years old Vietnamese male with a history of thalassemia, presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and signs of hemolysis. He was diagnosed with yersinia enterocolitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Excitement

  Importantly, the analysis of Yersinia riboregulators has not only uncovered crucial elements and regulatory mechanisms governing host-pathogen interactions, it also revealed exciting new venues for the design of novel anti-infectives. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Identifying Yersinia affects the role and choice of antibiotics in a child's treatment regimen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology of Yersinia Yersinia enterocolitica is transmitted via the fecal-oral route and is most often transmitted by eating or drinking food or water that has been contaminated by contact with infected animals or people. [ehagroup.com]

A striking characteristic of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is the high degree of sequence identity to Yersinia pestis (the causative agent of plague) which is intriguing given the markedly different epidemiological and clinical features of the two species [abcam.com]

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates, about 87,000 cases of human diseases occur due to Y. enterocolitica infection annually in the US and 90% of those are foodborne. [link.springer.com]
