title: First case of postaneurysmal prosthetic vascular infection due to a nonsuperantigenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain.
abstract: Among Yersinia spp., Y. enterocolitica is the species most frequently isolated from infected aneurysms. This report describes the first case of postaneurysmal prosthetic vascular infection due to a superantigen-negative Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain, showing a potential affinity of this species for endovascular tissue.
