Yersinia rohdei is a Gram-negative species of Yersinia that was originally isolated from the feces of humans and dogs in addition to water surfaces.[1] The type strain is ATCC 43380 (=CCUG 38833 =CDC 3022-85 =CIP 103163 =DSM 18270 =H271-36/78 =JCM 7376 =LMG 8454). Y. rohdei strains have also been isolated from reindeer and kelp gull from the sub-Antarctica South Georgia island.[2]
