Yersinia Pseudotuberculosis Strain Characterization from a Bovine Mastitis Case in Germany

A 2025 case of mastitis in a dairy cow in Germany was attributed to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The dataset likely contains phenotypic and genetic characterization data for the isolated strain, 25-YE00352, of bioserotype 1/O:2b ST16. The data was authored by Sonja Bäßler and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the described virulence factor profile (e.g., presence of YAPI, absence of pYV plasmid).
• Phylogenetic placement of veterinary isolates based on the described similarity to wildlife and captive animal strains from Germany.
• Studying host specificity and disease manifestation based on the described case of chronic bovine mastitis caused by YPS.

Strengths

• The dataset is derived from an in-depth analysis using classical and whole-genome-based approaches.
• It documents a specific, characterized strain (25-YE00352) with a defined bioserotype (1/O:2b) and sequence type (ST16).
• It represents a reported first case of YPS isolated from chronic bovine mastitis in Germany.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (24.2 KB), indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
