Occurrence of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni and Yersinia enterocolitica in domestic animals and in some foods of animal origin in Finland.
Fecal samples of some domestic animals were investigated for occurrence of C. fetus subsp. jejuni and Y. enterocolitica. The findings in this survey suggest, that the contamination rate in domestic animals for both bacteria is low. Raw milk, pasteurized milk or ground meat samples were not positive for C. fetus subsp. jejuni. Four per cent of the raw milk samples were positive for Y. enterocolitica. Each of the Y.  enterocolitica strains belonged to Nilehn's biotype 1 and they were noninvasive.
