#Yersinia enterocolitica
It is #zoonotic and is acquired by exposure to contaminated food.
When #IDBR says #chitlins (#chitterlings), you say Y. enterocolitica
Chitlins are food made of pork intestines (where Y enterocolitica resides)

72M. Crohn’s. 2 pet dogs. 1 pet cat.
2 mo after L knee surgery —> tender L inguinal node with purulence. No F/C. No response to TMP-SMX.
Biopsy (see photo): Stellate suppurative granuloma with central necrosis and clumps of bacteria.
What is the most likely diagnosis?

#Gram stain: a first step in bacterial identification —> two major groups:
1. Gram-positive: retains primary stain (crystal violet)
2. Gram-negative: does not retain crystal violet but counterstained by safranin/fuchsine —> red / pink
