One hundred and forty-five isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica of different serotypes and biotypes, including atypical biotypes, collected from various parts of the world, were examined for their susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics and expression of intracellular beta-lactamases. The reasons for the specificity of patterns of susceptibility to beta-lactams for each biotype or subtype of Y. enterocolitica were elucidated by examining their ss-lactamase activity. Whilst the biotypes and subtypes were uniformly susceptible to the newer beta-lactam antibiotics, the susceptibility pattern observed with other beta-lactams was specific to each biotype or subtype, because of the characteristics of beta-lactamase expression by strains within these groups. The susceptibility to these beta-lactam agents depended entirely on the extent of elaboration or the absence of one of the two beta-lactamases, enzyme A and enzyme B, found in the species. Detection of enzyme B by a disc diffusion test yielded inconsistent results, but detection of enzyme A by disc diffusion was highly reliable. This test clearly distinguished strains of biotype 2, serotype O:5,27 from those of biotype 2, serotype O:9 and biotype 3, serotypes O:1, 2a-3, O:3 and O:5.
