Abstract

Yersiniosis, referred to as pseudotuberculosis in the past, is the term used to designate infection with members of the genus Yersinia, other than Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. The two primary species incriminated as causes of yersiniosis are Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica. These organisms, as well as Y. pestis, were formerly in the genus Pasteurella. The genus name Yersinia was proposed in 1944 in honor of the Swiss-born French bacteriologist A. J. E. Yersin who first isolated the plague bacillus (Y. pestis) [162]. The genus Yersinia is currently included in the family Enterobacteriaceae [111].
