Wykrycie w genomie pałeczek Y. enterocolitica genów virF i yadA związanych z plazmidem wirulencji (pYV) pozwala na identyfikację chorobotwórczych szczepów tego drobnoustroju izolowanych z materiału klinicznego od ludzi.

Pathogenic strains of Yersinia enterocolitica bear virulence associated plasmid pYV. Unfortunately plasmid pYV is easily lost by these bacteria incubated at elevated temperatures (37°C) or long stored at room temperatures. This sometimes makes difficult the detection of the virulence plasmid, especially by its isolation or biochemical tests. On the other hand, observations done by some authors suggest that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) could be useful for demonstration of the pYV plasmid of Yersinia strains. Accordingly to this observation the aim of the presented study was to check the usefulness of plasmid-localised genes virF and yadA, detected by PCR, for the identification of the virulent strains of Y. enterocolitica. In the presented study one hundred and fifty two clinical strains of Y enterocolitica belonging to serogroup O3 were investigated by the PCR for the presence of genes virF and yadA. Bacterial strains were first tested for the presence of pYV plasmid. In addition the phenotypic features: calcium dependence, Congo red binding and autoagglutination were determined. In this way the virulence plasmid was found in 130 of 152 examined strains. For PCR studies also forty plasmid-cured strains of K enterocolitica and 32 non - Y. enterocolitica, Enterobacteriaceae strains were included. The obtained results show that the tested genes were present only in Yersinia strains possessing the pYV plasmid and no one non-specific PCR product was observed. The detection level of these genes in nested PCR permits to detect pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in suspension composed of 1 x 10(9) CFU/ml of pYV+ bacilli and 3 x 10(9) CFU/ml plasmid-cured, isogenic bacteria. In the study it was shown that genes virF and yadA were useful virulence markers, which could be helpful in clinical studies for the detection of the virulence plasmid in Y. enterocolitica strains long stored or incubated at elevated temperatures.
