Disease

Yersinia enterocolitica - Denmark

Denmark health officials are reporting an outbreak of Yersinia enterocolitica and the Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is investigating the possible source. According to a Copenhagen Post report, 18 people, men and women, have become infected with the bacteria since Mar. 30.

The once common infection is not common in Denmark today. Yersiniosis is an infection caused most often by eating raw or undercooked pork contaminated with Yersinia enterocolitica bacteria.
