Eight heifers were orally infected with 4 x 10(9) colony forming units of a field cattle strain of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 in a capsule, 5 days a week, for about 9 weeks (day 0-day 64 (D0-D64). The faecal shedding of Y. enterocolitica O:9 began on D5 for seven out of the eight challenged cattle with a high level of excretion during the first month, followed by a decrease till the day of slaughter (D76). Y. enterocolitica O:9 was not isolated from organs collected at slaughter. No clinical symptoms were observed. Hyperplasia of intestinal lymph formations was the sole microscopic lesions observed. Five animals showed a serological reaction against Brucella antigens in at least one of the following tests: Rose-Bengal test, complement fixation test, tube agglutination test or indirect ELISA (iELISA) tests. Only one animal showed a high level of serological response and a positive reaction in the dithiothreitol-microagglutination test. The observed variability in terms of individual sensitivity to the Y. enterocolitica O:9 infection is in agreement with the low individual prevalence rate and the transient serological reaction and faecal Y. entercolitica O:9 shedding observed in herds showing false positive serological reactions in brucellosis.
