Abstract

Strains of Yersinia enterocolitica from different O serogroups were tested for their ability to adhere to cultured epithelial cells (H.Ep 2) after growth of bacteria in broth at 22 C or 37 C. Strains that adhered to H.Ep 2 cells generally did so better after growth at 22 C than at 37 C. The data indicate that the ability to produce either of the mannose-resistant (MR) hemagglutinins, MR/Y or K1, each associated with fimbriae, does not correlate with ability to adhere to epithelial cells in this particular in vitro model.
