Vibrio and Yersinia Species Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6192
The Vibrio and Yersinia Species Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates Vibrio cholerae and the enteric Yersinia species and the gastrointestinal diseases they cause.
It is used in microbiology courses to explain the morphology, toxin mechanisms, and culture characteristics of these Gram-negative pathogens.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Vibrio cholerae | A comma-shaped, motile Gram-negative rod that causes cholera through profuse watery "rice water" diarrhea |
| Cholera Toxin | Activates adenylate cyclase in intestinal epithelial cells, causing massive secretion of water and electrolytes |
| TCBS Agar | A selective medium on which Vibrio cholerae forms yellow colonies due to sucrose fermentation |
| Yersinia enterocolitica | A Gram-negative coccobacillus that causes enterocolitis, often through contaminated food or milk |
| Yersinia pseudotuberculosis | Causes mesenteric lymphadenitis that can mimic appendicitis, particularly in children |
Key Features
- Illustrates Vibrio cholerae morphology and the cholera toxin mechanism
- Shows enteric Yersinia species and their gastrointestinal disease presentations
- Explains selective culture methods such as TCBS agar
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Vibrio and Yersinia Species Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates Vibrio cholerae and enteric Yersinia species and the gastrointestinal diseases they cause.
Q2. How does cholera toxin cause diarrhea?
A. Cholera toxin activates adenylate cyclase in intestinal cells, causing massive secretion of water and electrolytes into the gut.
Q3. What disease does Yersinia enterocolitica cause?
A. It causes enterocolitis, typically transmitted through contaminated food or milk.
Q4. Why can Yersinia pseudotuberculosis mimic appendicitis?
A. It causes mesenteric lymphadenitis, which can produce abdominal pain resembling appendicitis, especially in children.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study Vibrio and Yersinia species.
