Data on enteric yersinioses in Central America are limited. Genomic characterization of 78 Yersinia enterocolitica isolates from Costa Rica indicated persistent infection-source circulation between animal reservoirs and humans, as well unusual antimicrobial resistance levels. Our study highlights the importance genomic surveillance to monitor Yersinia-caused infections Rica.
