Comparison between standard in vitro virulence associated assays and human coproantibody siga production as predictors of Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia enterocolitica-like organism associated mouse virulence and human disease presentation

A semi-quantitative indirect immunofluorescence assay was developed which distinguishes two types of patients from whom yersiniae are recovered: those who produce a strong yersiniae specific coproantibody secretory IgA (SIgA) response and those who do not. This SIgA response appeared to be yersiniae...
