  ABSTRACT: Cases of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection increased in France during the winter of 2004-05 in the absence of epidemiologic links between patients or strains. This increase represents transient amplification of a pathogen endemic to the area and may be related to increased prevalence of the pathogen in rodent reservoirs.

  Article: Similarities of Kawasaki disease and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection epidemiology.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Although an infectious etiology is strongly suspected in Kawasaki disease (KD), an etiologic agent has not yet been identified. By reviewing epidemiologic data published in past decades, this work highlights a higher incidence of KD when populations were exposed to the risk of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection. This hitherto unnoticed element reinforces the hypothesis whereby this bacterium might contribute to the development of KD in some cases.

  Article: Linkage of the horizontally acquired ypm and pil genes in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

  François Collyn, Hiroshi Fukushima, Christophe Carnoy, Michel Simonet, Pascal Vincent
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The superantigen-encoding ypm gene and the pil gene cluster governing type IV pilus biogenesis have been laterally acquired by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. PCR assays on 270 unrelated strains from various environmental and animal sources revealed a significant association of ypm and pil in isolates.
