Yersinia aldovae is a species of bacteria that was originally described as Group X2 Yersinia enterocolitica.[1] Its type strain is CNY 6005 (= CDC 669-83 = ATCC 35236). Y. aldovae has been isolated from aquatic environments and soil, but it has not been associated with animal or human illnesses.[2]

Etymology[edit]

N.L. gen. fem. n. aldovae, of Aldova, named in honor of Eva Aldova, the Czechoslovakian microbiologist who first isolated the bacterium.[1]
