An intragastric inoculation of approx. 2 × 10 Yersinia enterocolitica cells killed chinchillas in three days in the case of four strains out of six tested. Because of the sensitivity of chinchillas to this bacterium, the test is useful for the evaluation of the virulence and invasiveness of Y. enterocolitica isolates. This animal model could also be used for studies on the mechanism of the infection.
在对六种小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌菌株进行测试时,其中四种菌株经胃内接种约2×10个小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌细胞后,在三天内致使栗鼠死亡。由于栗鼠对这种细菌敏感,该测试对于评估小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌分离株的毒力和侵袭性很有用。这种动物模型也可用于感染机制的研究。
