Abstract
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was recovered from precipitates directly t reated with KOH and/or HeLa cell in 25.7% of 680 river water samples c ollected in Japan. Recovery was nil in similar samples from Germany. T reatment of precipitates by KOH and infection of HeLa cells, respectiv ely, is an expedient and selective means for isolation of Y. pseudotub erculosis from such samples.
