Overview

Yersiniosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia enterocolitica. It is characterized by a range of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. In some cases, the bacteria can also spread to the lymph nodes, joints, and skin, causing more serious complications. Yersiniosis is most commonly spread through consumption of contaminated food, such as raw or undercooked pork, seafood, and vegetables. It is also possible to acquire yersiniosis through contact with infected animals, including rodents and rabbits. Yersiniosis is a preventable disease, and appropriate food handling techniques, such as thorough cooking, can help to reduce the risk of infection. Treatment typically includes antibiotics, and symptoms usually clear up within a few days.
