RESUMO
Raw milk in southern Ontario frequently contains Yersinia enterocolitica. The potential for transmission of this organism by cheese manufactured from unpasteurized milk was evaluated by examination of milk and cheese curd samples from cheese manufacturing plants and finished cheddar and Italian cheeses. The incidence of Y. enterocolitica was lower in cheese curd samples (9.2%) than in raw milk (18.2%). Most of the curd samples showed a positive phosphatase test, indicating production from raw milk. One curd sample yielded Y. enterocolitica after 4 weeks of storage at 4 degrees C but was negative after 8 weeks. All samples of cheddar and Italian cheeses, most of which showed a positive phosphatase test, were negative for Y. enterocolitica. One out of 265 samples (0.4%) of pasteurized fluid dairy products contained Y. enterocolitica.
