| Description | In a cross-test, we examined 53 strains of genus Yersinia agains each other as potencial producers of specific antibacterial agents (bacteriophages, bacteriocin, microcins) and as potential sensitive indicators for them. We tested 6 strains of Yersinia spp. (Y. aldovae, Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii, Y. kristensenii, Y. rohdei. Y. ruckeri) generally considered to be nonpathogenic and environmental. Six strains (11 %) produced bacteriocins (one of Y. frederiksenii, one of Y. intermedia, four of Y. ruckeri) and two bacteriophages (4 %, both of Y. kristensenii). Bacteriocins were characterised by several methods. Produced bacteriophages (Y. kristensenii) were specified by morphology of plaques, host range activity, inducibility with mitomycin C and electrony microscopy. |
