Serological evidence that Yersinia enterocolitica lipopolysaccharide produced during growth in vivo resembles that produced during growth in vitro at 25 degrees C.
Partial smooth-rough transition was observed in 30 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 cultivated at 37 degrees C. Immunodiffusion and haemagglutination inhibition tests with eight patients' sera demonstrated that the immunogenicity of the lipopolysaccharide of Yersinia enterocolitica in vivo was similar to that of the bacteria grown in vitro at 25 degrees C.
