Introduction of PCR testing reveals a previously unrecognized burden of yersiniosis in Hampshire, UK.

Conclusions. Introduction of PCR testing led to the identification of a previously unrecognized burden of yersiniosis in Hampshire. The diversity of species and serotypes suggests heterogeneity in sources and transmission routes. Further research on exposures, risk factors and clinical sequalae is needed to improve our understanding of the clinical and public health impact. PMID: 31999240 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
