Development of a L-rhamnose and D-arabitol supplemented MacConkey agar to identify pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica among environmental Yersinias in swine production wastes.

Abstract:

:Supplemented MacConkey agar with L-rhamnose and D-arabitol distinguishes pathogenic from environmental strains of Yersinia enterocolitica recovered from swine production wastes. This medium has a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 97.4%.
