Epidemiology
- occurs on iceberg lettuce contaminated with deer feces
- less common than Yersinia enterocolitica
Pathology
- etiologic agent of mesenteric adenitis
- rhoA serves as a target for the yopT cysteine peptidase from Yersinia pestis & Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
- rhoA is cleaved by yopT protease when the cell is infected by Yersinia; this removes the lipid attachment, & leads to its displacement from plasma membrane & to subsequent cytoskeleton cleavage
