We investigated the difference in immunological characteristics between a highly pathogenic and poorly pathogenic strain of Y. enterocolitico. Methods We used SDS-PAGE and western blotting to characterize lipopolysaccharide （LPS）, Yersinio outer membrane proteins （Yops）, membrane proteins, and whole-cell proteins from poorly pathogenic Y. enterocolitico bio-serotype 2/0：9, isolated from China, and highly pathogenic bio-serotype 1B/O：8, isolated from Japan. Results These two strains of Y. enterocolitica had different LPS immune response patterns.
