First case of postaneurysmal prosthetic vascular infection due to a nonsuperantigenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain.
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.
