Abstract
•Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates from yersiniosis in animals were characterised.•Majority of the isolates belonged to O:1 serotype and to genetic type 2.•O:2a, O:5a and O:11–12 isolates were found in cases that occurred in the hare.•Dendrograms generated using PFGE confirmed the epidemiologic links between strains.•Characterisation of isolates from animals can be a reliable tool in surveillance.
