ResumoThis report presents information about the stability of the Yersinia enterocolitica virulence plasmid at elevated temperatures. Though considerable variation existed in the heat resistance of five strains (representing four serotypes), exposure of the different plasmid-bearing virulent strains to temperatures of 45, 50 and 55°C did not cause the loss of the virulence plasmid from the surviving cells. Based on the crystal violet (CV) binding test, these surviving cells were still virulent.
