Abstract
The ability of released proteins (Yops) and surface lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from the wild-type strain Yersinia enterocolitica 8081-L2, serotype 0:8 to influence the complement activity was determined. Yops and LPS from wild-type and mutant strains showed different ability to affect the classical pathway (CP) functional complement activity in vitro. The serum CP activity was inhibited during the infection induced with six Y. enterocolitica and three Y. pseudotuberculosis strains in rabbits. The changed complement activity might be of importance for the course of Yersinia infections.Entities:
