title: Agglutination of pYV+ Yersinia enterocolitica strains by agglutinin from Mangifera indica.
abstract: Agglutination of 271 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica and related species grown at 37 degrees C by a 0.01% dilution of the agglutinin from Mangifera indica was correlated with the presence of the virulence plasmid. The study of YadA mutants suggested that the YadA protein is the target of the plant agglutinin.
