Yersinia rochesterensis is a Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterium that forms circular colonies and was isolated from human feces.[1] This potentially pathogenic species has been isolated in human stools in France[2] and in the United States[3] where it was characterized at the Mayo Clinic.[4] A Y. rochesterensis strain, isolated from hare and initially identified as Yersinia kristensenii, was serotyped as O:12,25.[5]
