  • Title: [An experimental study of Yersinia in plants].
    Author: Litvin VIu, Shustrova NM, Gordeĭko VA, Pushkareva VI, Misurenko EN.

    Abstract:
    Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis have been experimentally found to penetrate into plants (cabbage, salad, pea, oat) from infected soil and water and to remain in different plant organs (roots, seeds, leaves) up to 30 days (the term of observation). The processes of S-R dissociation in Yersinia cultures isolated from plants, as well as changes in some enzymatic properties, have been established. In the test on Infusoria the cytotoxic action of strains isolated from plants has been noted. The possible role of plants in carrying pathogenic bacteria from the soil to the surface ecological systems and the subsequent infection of animals and humans is discussed.
