    Abstract:
    Yersinia enterocolitica bio-serotype 4/O:3 was previously identified in a pork production chain in Brazil and the obtained isolates presented high identity by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE, XbaI). For the current study, an additional 147 porcine samples (tonsils = 100, palate = 30, head meat = 17) were collected from the same pork production chain 2-years later and 14 (9.5%) tested positive for Y. enterocolitica. Isolates (n = 24, 1 to 2 per positive sample) were bio-serotype 4/O:3 and harbored virulence genes ail, inv, wbbU, virF, myfA, ystA, ymoA, hreP and sat, and the multidrug resistance related genes emrD, marC and yfhD. PFGE (XbaI) demonstrated no differences among isolates (100% similarity) and were identical to some Y. enterocolitica isolates (n = 13) obtained previously from the same pork chain. A second PFGE analysis (NotI) confirmed the high degree of similarity among isolates obtained over time, demonstrating the persistence of an apparent clonal Y. enterocolitica bio-serotype 4/O:3 in this particular pork production chain in Brazil.
