Sir,

ß-Lactamases among Yersinia spp. have been extensively studied only for Yersinia enterocolitica. Generally, the species produces two distinct chromosomal ß-lactamases, a penicillinase and a cephalosporinase, enzymes A and B, respectively.1 It has been shown that Y. enterocolitica isolates of different biotypes may contain both ß-lactamases, but their expression is related to the susceptibility profiles of ß-lactams.2 However, there are limited data related to ß-lactamase content of the species previously called ‘Y. enterocolitica-like’ and in particular of Yersinia intermedia. In addition, studies concerning the ß-lactamase content of yersinias isolated from aquatic environments have not appeared in the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
