One hundred and fifty five strains of Yersinia sp. isolated in Italy from 1981 through 1983 were studied for their ability to utilize esculin, D-lixose, L-fucose and D-arabitol. All the strains belonging to biotype 4 serotype 3 isolated from humans failed to ferment such carbohydrates. The strains of other bioserotypes showed different biochemical reactions.
