Abstract
Yersinia enterocolitica is a significant zoonotic pathogen that poses a considerable threat to both
animal and human health. This review paper aims to summarize and critically evaluate current knowledge
on the isolation, pathogenicity, and prevalence of Y. enterocolitica in farms dedicated to the production of
slaughtered pigs. Isolation of Y. enterocolitica from various sources, including porcine tonsils, feces, and
mesenteric lymph nodes, is essential for understanding prevalence and transmission dynamics. The different
isolation methods and their advantages and limitations in detecting the pathogen are explored, highlighting
the challenges associated with its detection. We examine the role of specific virulence factors, in the ability
of Y. enterocolitica to colonize and cause disease in humans. Additionally, this review provides a compre�hensive analysis of factors influencing the prevalence of Y. enterocolitica in farms for slaughtered pigs. The
review highlights the need for standardized surveillance strategies to accurately assess the prevalence of Y.
enterocolitica in swine populations, ensuring effective control and prevention measures. In conclusion, the
findings presented here underscore the importance of Y. enterocolitica as an emergent pathogen as well as
implementing comprehensive surveillance programs, adopting effective control measures, and promoting
awareness among stakeholders to mitigate the risk associated with Y. enterocolitica infection in both ani�mals and humans.
