Yersinia enterocolitica Identification Kit – biochemical confirmation
The Yersinia enterocolitica Identification Kit confirms typical colonies from CIN or chromogenic agar with a set of miniaturised biochemical tests.
- Miniaturised biochemical tests
- For colonies from CIN or chromogenic agar
- 10 tests
How Yersinia enterocolitica Identification Kit works
A pure colony is suspended and dispensed into the test wells. Typical reactions of Y. enterocolitica, such as urease, sucrose fermentation and the absence of lysine decarboxylase, are compared with the expected profile.

| Storage | 2–8 °C |
Applications and practical notes
Rapid tests, identification kits and reference strains support the detection of Yersinia enterocolitica according to ISO 10273. Typical applications include:
- Screening of enrichment cultures
- Confirmation of typical colonies on CIN agar
- Positive controls and media QC
- Laboratories with PCR or LAMP equipment
Working with Yersinia enterocolitica Identification Kit: Use a pure culture, incubate the strips at the temperature stated in the instructions and read all reactions at the same time.
Good practice with rapid tests: store the kit as stated on the label, let the components reach room temperature before use and use each item only once. Record the lot number and the result, and confirm positive results according to the reference method when this is required.
About the Shigella and Yersinia methods: ISO 21567 describes the detection of Shigella in food by enrichment in Shigella broth with novobiocin, plating on selective agars such as MacConkey, XLD and Hektoen enteric agar, and biochemical and serological confirmation. ISO 10273 describes the detection of presumptive pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica by enrichment at 25 °C and plating on CIN agar, followed by tests that separate pathogenic from non-pathogenic strains. COLO.Science offers media, supplements, rapid tests, identification kits and QC strains for these methods.
