| New Zealand is facing the outbreak of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which has been described as a food poisoning epidemic. |
| Microbiological analyses included enumeration of fecal coliforms, enterococci, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, and coliphage. |
| Yersinia infection most often occurs from eating raw or undercooked pork products, such as chitterlings. |
| The bacterium that causes the plague, Yersinia pestis, still exists, though the disease occurs rarely these days, and when it does it is seldom lethal. |
| The Yersinia species of pathogens can cause the bubonic plague and serious gastrointestinal infections in humans. |
| Yersinia species are also members of the Enterobacteriacea, and are capable of psychrotrophic growth. |
