title: Growth of Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis in Yersinia selective enrichment broth according to Ossmer.
abstract: The growth of Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in Yersinia enrichment broth according to Ossmer (YSEO) was investigated. Y. enterocolitica reached a higher concentration than Y. pseudotuberculosis but both always exceeded 10(6)CFU/ml. The medium may be useful for the detection of both species in foods.
