The test reagents are used to identify the serovar of Yersinia enterocolitica strains isolated from test material of human and animal origin by means of slide agglutination.
Principle of the test - If the Yersinia enterocolitica strain contains an antigen covered by the test reagent’s range of specificity, this antigen will be bound when mixed with the specific antibody. The antigen-antibody reaction results in clearly visible agglutination of the strain.
