Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 is arthritogenic for mice

It is shown, for the first time, that Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 is experimentally arthritogenic. Moreover, it is arthritogenic for the mouse, an optimal model for human yersiniosis. This arthritis can be induced by the oral route, the most common route in man. The pattern of joint disease...

Description
Summary:	It is shown, for the first time, that Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 is experimentally arthritogenic. Moreover, it is arthritogenic for the mouse, an optimal model for human yersiniosis. This arthritis can be induced by the oral route, the most common route in man. The pattern of joint disease closely parallels that of human reactive arthritis associated with this pathogen.
