title: Analysis of the urease gene complex of members of the genus Yersinia.
abstract: The urease gene complex of Yersinia enterocolitica is relatively conserved within the species, although this conservation may not extend to other members of the genus. Spontaneous urease-negative isolates of Y. enterocolitica appear to have arisen as a result of large deletions within this complex, while Y. pestis shows no significant deletions within the complex, despite being urease negative.
