Yersinia kristensenii is a species of bacteria.[1] It is Gram-negative and its type strain is 105 (=CIP 80–30). It is potentially infectious to mice.[2] It secretes a bacteriocin that targets related species.[3]

Etymology

Yersinia kristensenii, N.L. gen. masc. n. kristensenii, of Kristensen, named after the Danish microbiologist Martin Kristensen, who first isolated this organism.

Yersinia kristensenii subsp. rochesterensis, ro.ches.ter.en’sis N.L. masc./fem. adj. rochesterensis, referring to Rochester, Minnesota, United States, where the type strain of this subspecies was isolated.[4]
