Abstract: We examined the prevalence of Yersinia, including pathogenic species such as Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, among wild sika deer (Cervus nippon) and boars (Sus scrofa) captured in Japan. The prevalence of Yersinia in the wild deer was 75% (207/277) and in the boars was 74% (40/54). A total of 417 isolates of nine Yersinia species were isolated from the animals examined: the largest number of isolates (48%, 200/417) were Y. enterocolitica biotype 1A. Pathogenic Y. enterocolitica 1B/O:8 were also isolated from two deer, and Y. pseudotuberculosis serogroups 3 and 4 were isolated from two boars and a deer, respectively. The pathogenic Y. enterocolitica 1B/O:8 isolates carried four virulence genes (ail, ystA, yadA, and virF), and Y. pseudotuberculosis serogroups 3 and 4 isolates carried three virulence genes (inv, yadA, and lcrF). Although the Y. enterocolitica 1B/O:8 and Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates were sensitive to almost all the antimicrobials tested, the two Y. enterocolitica 1B/O:8 isolates were resistant to azithromycin and ampicillin, and the three Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates were resistant only to azithromycin. These findings suggested that wild deer and boars might be important reservoirs for the agent causing human yersiniosis.
