RESUMO
Pyrolysis gas-liquid chromatography (PGLC) was used to differentiate between HeLa cell-invasive and noninvasive strains of Yersinia enterocolitica and between Sereny-positive and -negative strains. A temperature-programmed gas-liquid chromatograph, equipped with a high-resolution Carbowax 20M coated capillary column, separated the volatiles from pyrolyzed whole cells preparations and cell wall fractions. The resulting pyrolysis elution patterns (pyrograms) were divided into 313 30-s time interval areas. The time interval areas were normalized in relation to the entire pyrogram area and were evaluated by stepwise linear discriminant analysis. The results of the PGLC-statistical analyses showed good correlation in prediction of the HeLa cell invasivity test. The technique of PGLC coupled with statistical analyses is objective, in contrast to traditional methods of determining pathogenicity of Y. enterocolitica.
