Restriction endonuclease analysis of plasmid DNA of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infections in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.

Abstract
The epidemiology of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infections in a limited area of Shimane Prefecture, Japan, was examined by serotyping and restriction endonuclease analysis of virulence plasmid DNA of Y. pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from humans, wildlife animals and river water. Almost all isolates from three sources belonged to serotype 1b REAP pattern D and serotype 4b REAP patterns B, G and L. The identity of the distribution of serotype and REAP patterns among isolates from humans, wildlife animals and river water shows that Y. pseudotuberculosis is transmitted to humans through environmental substances contaminated by wildlife animals infected with this species.
