Abstract
Of four tested identification systems (API 20E, API Rapid 32 IDE, Micr onaut E, and the PCR-based Yersinia enterocolitica Amplification Set), API 20E is still the system of choice for identifying pathogenic Yers inia isolates. It provides the highest sensitivity both at the genus a nd at the species level and has the best cost-effectiveness correlatio n.
