    Author: el-Sherbini M, al-Agili S, el-Jali H, Aboshkiwa M, Koha M.
    Journal: East Mediterr Health J; 1999 Jan; 5(1):130-5. PubMed ID: 10793790.
    Abstract:
    Seventy (70) appendiceal specimens and 80 ice-cream samples were analysed to detect Yersinia enterocolitica using three different media. Both Y. enterocolitica and Citrobacter freundii were recovered in appendiceal specimens (17.1% and 8.6%) and ice-cream (26.25% and 18.75%) respectively. Thioglycollate medium was more selective and productive in isolating Yersinia. Y. enterocolitica was the major causative agent of acute appendicitis (11/25, 44%). It was sensitive to chloramphenicol, gentamicin, tetracycline and trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole.
