Rodents are a large group of mammals that can be carriers of zoonotic pathogens such as Yersinia strains that cause yersiniosis. The prevalence of Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was determined in 214 small wild rodents from south-eastern Poland. Samples were analyzed by precultivation and PCR. Nine (4.2%) Y. enterocolitica and one (0.5%) Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates were received. Most of them (n = 5) were obtained from the common vole (Microtus arvalis). All Y. enterocolitica strains were classified as biotype (BT) 1A. A PCR analysis of virulence markers revealed that all Y. enterocolitica isolates contained the ystB gene and five isolates harbored a rare genetic combination of ail/ystB. Three of the four ail/ystB-positive isolates belonged to serotype O:5.27. The Y. pseudotuberculosis inv-positive isolate was classified as BT 1. A genetic analysis of Y. enterocolitica harboring the ystB gene revealed 100% similarity between the analyzed sequences and the sequences from diarrhea patients in India and the United Kingdom as well as high similarity with the sequences from different species of wild animals from Poland. The Y. pseudotuberculosis inv sequence was 100% identical to the sequence isolated from fully virulent clinical strain from France and Australia. The results of our study suggest that small wild rodents, especially voles and yellow-necked mice, may act as carriers of Yersinia strains. The high similarity of the tested gene sequences between our isolates and the isolates from other free-living animals indicates that small wild rodents can play a role in the epidemiology of yersiniosis and can shed Yersinia spp. into the environment.
