A 1-year-old boy was infected with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotypes 1b and 3, and his 3-year-old brother was infected with Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype 1b; both had drunk water from puddles in a garden of their housing district of Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The Y. pseudotuberculosis serotype 1b and 3 strains isolated from soil from the dried-up puddles and sand and feces from the sandbox proved to be from a stray cat. The restriction endonuclease patterns of the plasmid in each strain of Y. pseudotuberculosis serotypes 1b and 3 were identical. These data provide evidence for the transmission of Y. pseudotuberculosis through water, sand, and soil contaminated by feces from cats infected with this species.
一名1岁男孩感染了1b型和3型假结核耶尔森菌，他3岁的哥哥感染了1b型假结核耶尔森菌；两人都饮用了日本广岛县宫岛市自家住宅区花园水洼中的水。从干涸水洼的土壤、沙箱中的沙子和粪便中分离出的1b型和3型假结核耶尔森菌菌株被证明来自一只流浪猫。1b型和3型假结核耶尔森菌各菌株中质粒的限制性内切酶图谱是相同的。这些数据为假结核耶尔森菌通过被感染该菌的猫的粪便污染的水、沙子和土壤传播提供了证据。
