  • Title: A simple technique to differentiate between animals infected with Yersinia enterocolitica IX and those infected with Brucella abortus.
    Author: Mittal KR, Tizard IR.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1979 Mar; 26(2):248-50. PubMed ID: 122268.
    Abstract:
    While both Brucella abortus and Yersinia enterocolitica IX have O antigens in common, they differ significantly with respect to motility. Thus Br abortus is always non-motile while Y enterocolitica is motile when grown at room temperature. The presence of yersinia H agglutinins in serum can be shown to be evidence of previous exposure to Y enterocolitica. These agglutinins are not generated by brucella infection. A rapid H agglutination test will serve to provide this differentiation without interference from cross-reacting O antigens.
