Popis: The efficiency of enumerating virulent Yersinia enterocolitica colonies was determined for 10 artificially contaminated foods by autoradiography after DNA colony hybridization using a 32 P-labelled genetic probe and paper filters. Enumeration efficiency, which ranged from 0–98% (average 25 ± 31% standard deviation), improved (42–138%, average 83 ± 27% standard deviation) after enrichment with 0·5% KOH-0·5% NaCl. These efficiencies are equivalent to those obtained with nitrocellulose filters.
