Disease Profile

Bacterial

Yersiniosis

耶尔森菌病

Yersiniosis is a bacterial infectious disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract, caused by bacteria of the genus Yersinia. The disease is named after Alexandre Yersin, who discovered the genus. Most human cases are caused by Yersinia enterocolitica, with a smaller proportion caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Other Yersinia species rarely cause the disease.

Clinical features

Yersiniosis is an infectious disease of the gastrointestinal tract caused by Yersinia bacteria, specifically excluding Yersinia pestis (the plague bacterium). The condition primarily manifests with gastrointestinal symptoms. Most infections are attributed to Y. enterocolitica, while Y. pseudotuberculosis accounts for a minority of cases. Rare instances may involve other Yersinia species.
