RESUMO
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serogroup III is most frequently detected in healthy pigs. Y. pseudotuberculosis strains were divided into two biogroups on the basis of their fermentation of melibiose. Melibiose-fermenting strains were distributed in all the hosts and serogroups examined. Melibiose-nonfermenting strains were limited to serogroup III isolated from healthy pigs. Autoagglutination and calcium dependency were not related to fermentation of melibiose. Melibiose-fermenting strains seem to be virulent for mice, but melibiose-nonfermenting strains showed no virulence for mice.
