Yersinia Pestis and Species Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6199
The Yersinia Pestis and Species Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that compares Yersinia pestis with the other clinically relevant species of the genus Yersinia.
It is used in microbiology courses to explain the shared taxonomic features of the genus and the distinct diseases caused by each species.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Genus Overview | Yersinia is a genus of Gram-negative coccobacilli within the Enterobacteriaceae family |
| Yersinia pestis | The most virulent species; non-motile and the causative agent of plague |
| Yersinia enterocolitica | A motile species at room temperature that causes enterocolitis via contaminated food |
| Yersinia pseudotuberculosis | Causes mesenteric lymphadenitis, occasionally mistaken clinically for appendicitis |
| Cold Enrichment | Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis grow well at 4°C, a property used for their selective laboratory isolation |
Key Features
- Compares Yersinia pestis with other species of the Yersinia genus
- Shows shared taxonomic features and species-specific virulence differences
- Explains cold enrichment as a laboratory isolation technique
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Yersinia Pestis and Species Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates Yersinia pestis alongside other clinically relevant species of the genus Yersinia.
Q2. What disease does Yersinia pestis cause?
A. Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague, transmitted mainly through flea bites.
Q3. What disease does Yersinia enterocolitica cause?
A. It causes enterocolitis, typically acquired through contaminated food.
Q4. What is cold enrichment used for?
A. It is a selective isolation technique that takes advantage of Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis growing well at 4°C.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study the Yersinia genus and its species.
