When virulence plasmid (42–44 Mdal) positive and negative Yersinia pseudotuberculosis I and Yersinia enterocolitica 0:8 and 0:9 were tested in the guinea pig eye model the following order of pathogenicity was observed: Plasmid‐positive Y. pseudotuberculosis I (death of the animal) > plasmid‐negative Y. pseudotuberculosis I plasmid‐positive Y. enterocolitica 0:8 (severe conjuntivitis) > plasmid‐positive Y. enterocolitica 0:9 (mild conjuntivitis) > plasmid‐negative Y. enterocolitica 0:8 and 0:9 (no effect).
