| campylobacter jejuni enteritis in honolulu, hawaii. | the incidence of campylobacter jejuni in patients with acute diarrhoea was studied in honolulu, hawaii. c. jejuni was recovered from 8.7% of diarrhoeal stools, compared to isolation rates of 4.2% for salmonella and 3.8% for shigella. c. jejuni occurred mainly in the summer and autumn, and in all age and racial groups. there was a significantly higher incidence of abdominal pain, fever history, bloody stools and faecal leucocytes in patients with campylobacter enteritis. | 1983 | 6636278 |
| symptomatic and asymptomatic rotavirus infections in hospitalized children. | during one year, 871 infants and children admitted to a dutch paediatric ward were examined weekly for rotavirus. rotavirus was detected in the stools of 64/129 (49.6%) children with diarrhoea and in 283/742 (38.1%) controls. the incidence of asymptomatic rotavirus excretors increased from 14.5% in infants 0 to 6 months of age to 65.8% in children of 6 years and over, a feature not yet reported. possible explanations may be the methodology used, the age groups studied, the local hospital (and co ... | 1983 | 6637464 |
| isolation and characterization of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli from domestic and wild mammals in norway. | a total of 1,262 domestic and wild mammals from norway were surveyed for fecal carriage of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. of the five species of domestic mammals examined, the highest isolation rate was recorded among swine (100.0%), followed by sheep (8.1%) and cows (0.8%). no strains were recovered from horses or goats. among wild mammals, c. jejuni was isolated from 1 of 23 hares, and no isolated were obtained from three species of cervids and three species of rodents. of the 13 ... | 1983 | 6639033 |
| molecular identification of surface protein antigens of campylobacter jejuni. | the technique of immunoblotting was used to identify the surface protein antigens of campylobacter jejuni. polyclonal antisera were raised in rabbits to formalinized cells of a typical human fecal isolate, c. jejuni vc74. surface components were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. fractions analyzed included whole cell lysates, sarcosinate-extracted outer membranes, released outer membrane blebs (fragments), isolated flagella, 0.2 m glycine-hydrochloride (ph 2 ... | 1983 | 6642648 |
| simple adult rabbit model for campylobacter jejuni enteritis. | we tested the usefulness of the removable intestinal tie adult rabbit diarrhea model to establish campylobacter jejuni infection in rabbits. the procedure involved ligation of the cecum, placement of a slip knot at the terminal ileum, and injection of the test inoculum into the mid-small bowel. the ends of the slip knot were externalized, and the tie was released 4 h later. fifty-five rabbits received c. jejuni, and 16 received uninoculated medium as controls. daily rectal swabs were positive fo ... | 1983 | 6642664 |
| the isolation of campylobacter jejuni from flies. | living flies collected from three locations were cultured on selective medium for campylobacter spp. campylobacter jejuni was isolated from five (2.4%) of 210 flies examined. these results suggest that the potential hazard to health from the transmission of campylobacters from animals to human food by flies is small. | 1983 | 6644008 |
| milk-borne campylobacter enteritis in a rural area. | during november and december 1981 more than 50 residents in a village in derbyshire had an acute gastrointestinal illness. one month later a second outbreak occurred affecting another 22 people. campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 12 patients; no other gastrointestinal pathogens were identified. a case-control study showed an association with the consumption of unpasteurized milk from one particular farm. no new cases were identified for 6 months following the application of a pasteurization ... | 1983 | 6644009 |
| [campylobacter jejuni, yersinia enterocolitica and salmonella in game and poultry]. | samples of various sorts of game and poultry (other than chicken), obtained from poulterers, hunters, rearing-farms and slaughterhouses, were surveyed for the presence of campylobacter jejuni, yersinia enterocolitica and salmonella. these pathogens were isolated from hare, wild boars, pheasants, guinea-fowl, turkeys, mallards and domestic ducks. yersinia enterocolitica and salmonella were also cultured from wild and domestic rabbits. moreover, yersinia enterocolitica was isolated from wood pigeo ... | 1983 | 6648946 |
| association of campylobacter jejuni with enteritis in dogs and cats. | campylobacter jejuni was recovered from 59 of 505 (11.7 per cent) dogs with diarrhoea as compared with only two of 122 (1.6 per cent) dogs without diarrhoea. however, there was no significant difference between campylobacter isolations from 142 cats with and without diarrhoea. c jejuni infections were commonly associated with chronic diarrhoea in both species and appropriate therapy abolished clinical signs and excretion of the organism in faeces in most cases. c jejuni may be responsible for so ... | 1983 | 6649362 |
| pathogenicity of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli strains in the pregnant guinea pig model. | pathogenicity of 17 campylobacter isolates for pregnant guinea pigs was investigated. of 14 isolates, 12 (86%) produced rates of abortion ranging from 13% to 87%. two isolates did not produce abortion. reference strains of c fetus subsp venerealis produced abortion in 60% to 87% and c fetus subsp fetus produced abortion in 60% of the guinea pigs. inoculated organisms were recovered from uterus, blood, liver, kidney, spleen, and gallbladder of the guinea pigs at rates as high as 83% for 2 ovine i ... | 1983 | 6650962 |

| campylobacter jejuni as a cause of childhood diarrhoea in a north indian community. | the prevalence of campylobacter jejuni diarrhea was investigated among 155 children suffering from acute diarrheal illness. c. jejuni was isolated from fecal specimens of 16 (10.3%) of the patients and 2 (4.7%) of the controls (p0.05). 13 of the positive isolations were from patients less than 3 years of age. when compared to diarrheal patients without c. jejuni, patients with c. jejuni isolations more frequently had diarrhea for longer than 7 days, had fever, and had mucoid stools (p0.05). ... | 1983 | 6679554 |
| [serologic demonstration of antibodies against campylobacter jejuni/coli in man]. | antibody response to campylobacter jejuni/coli infections in man was studied by microagglutination assay against homologues organisms isolated from patients and by complement fixation test against a commercially available group-specific antigen of c. jejuni/coli. titers of agglutinating antibodies raise within 1-2 weeks post infectionem (p.i.) to an extent of about 320 (reciprocal titer) and persist about 3-4 months. cf-antibody titers raise only to about 40 but they persist for a long time. bec ... | 1983 | 6680399 |
| effect of temperature, duration of incubation, and ph of enrichment culture on the recovery of campylobacter jejuni from eviscerated market chickens. | to establish an enrichment system of high efficiency for recovery of campylobacter jejuni from market chickens, the effects of the temperature, duration of incubation, and ph of the enrichment culture on the isolation of the bacterium were evaluated. whole chickens or chicken parts in plastic bags were individually rinsed, and the washings filtered through cheesecloth. the cells were separated from the washings by centrifugation, and the pellet was inoculated into 100 ml of enrichment broth. iso ... | 1983 | 6684497 |
| studies of campylobacter jejuni in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. | cultures, serology, and immunohistochemical tests for campylobacter jejuni were performed on 74 patients with inflammatory bowel disease of various disease activity and in healthy and diseased control populations. fecal cultures were negative in all groups tested. antibodies to c. jejuni were assessed both by a complement fixation assay and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to multiple serotypes of the organism. antibody titers in inflammatory bowel disease patients and control populations we ... | 1984 | 6689672 |
| the role of gut flora and animal passage in the colonisation of adult mice with campylobacter jejuni. | adult female mice were given drinking water containing tobramycin 0.05 mg/ml for a week. after a further day without antibiotic they were inoculated intragastrically with one of three strains of campylobacter jejuni. colonisation of the gastrointestinal tract was judged by culturing faecal pellets. tobramycin-treated mice differed from untreated animals in that many more of them discharged infected pellets, and their pellets contained 5- greater than 300 times more campylobacters. colonisation c ... | 1984 | 6694208 |
| acute erosive reactive arthritis associated with campylobacter jejuni-induced colitis. | a case of acute erosive, reactive arthritis following campylobacter jejuni-induced ulcerative colitis is presented. this is the 12th such case reported in the literature and the first in which destructive lesions of periarticular bone are demonstrated. a review of the literature suggests that reactive arthritis associated with c. jejuni infection is similar to that following other invasive types of bacterial diarrhea and is often associated with hla-b27 lymphocyte antigen. | 1984 | 6695953 |
| endemic campylobacter jejuni infection in colorado: identified risk factors. | a study of persons with laboratory-confirmed sporadic campylobacter jejuni infection and of controls matched for age and sex in colorado in the summer of 1981 yielded odds ratio estimates significantly greater than 1 for the following risk factors: drinking raw water (10.74), drinking raw milk (6.93), eating undercooked chicken (2.77), and living in a household with a cat (3.21). | 1984 | 6696155 |
| campylobacter jejuni diarrhea model in infant chickens. | to study the pathogenic mechanisms of campylobacter jejuni infection, 36- to 72-h-old chickens were fed 10(3) to 10(6) live cells, using strains isolated from 40 patients with watery diarrhea and 6 with bloody mucoid diarrhea from whom no other known enteropathogen was detected. chickens of starbro strain were more likely to develop c. jejuni-induced diarrhea than were white leghorn chickens. diarrhea was defined on the basis of amounts of gut fluid in 288 chicks fed with live c. jejuni versus 1 ... | 1984 | 6698612 |
| serotyping and biotyping of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli from sporadic cases and outbreaks in norway. | of 172 thermophilic campylobacters isolated from human cases of gastroenteritis in norway, 149 (86.6%) were classified as campylobacter jejuni, whereas 23 isolates (13.4%) belonged to campylobacter coli. c. jejuni biotype 1 comprised 66.3% and c. jejuni biotype 2 comprised 20.3% of the total number. using 50 unabsorbed antisera, we were able to serotype 109 (80.1%) of 136 campylobacters on the basis of heat-stable antigens identified by means of passive hemagglutination. the typable strains fell ... | 1984 | 6699144 |
| blood-free selective medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni from feces. | a blood-free selective agar is described which contains charcoal, ferrous sulfate, sodium pyruvate, casein hydrolysates, cefazolin, and sodium deoxycholate (ccd agar). ccd agar was compared with preston medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni from human feces, and isolation rates were similar on both media, but ccd agar was less selective. temperature studies at 37 and 42 degrees c confirmed that incubation of direct plates at 42 degrees c for 48 h was necessary for maximum isolation of c. ... | 1984 | 6699146 |
| improved preservation medium for campylobacter jejuni. | an egg-based medium was found to be superior to the conventional wang transport medium and the recently developed biphasic medium for the preservation of campylobacter jejuni in the laboratory. strains of c. jejuni preserved in egg-based medium maintained at 4 degrees c were viable for over 3 months. the survival of c. jejuni in egg-based medium held at room temperature (27 +/- 2 degrees c) was also relatively longer than in wang transport medium and biphasic medium. | 1984 | 6699154 |

| the ability of campylobacter media supplements to neutralize photochemically induced toxicity and hydrogen peroxide. | nutrient agar plates stored in light and air for 48 h became inhibitory for campylobacter jejuni, c. coli and nalidixic acid-resistant, thermophilic campylobacter (nartc) strains. all five campylobacter test strains showed greater than 5 log reduction in counts on media which had been stored in light and air. media stored in the dark and/or in a reduced atmosphere did not become inhibitory and supported the growth of campylobacters. ferrous sulphate, sodium pyruvate, blood, charcoal or sodium me ... | 1984 | 6706882 |
| campylobacter-caused diarrhea. who is at risk? what to watch for. | campylobacter jejuni is now recognized as one of the most common causes of human infectious diarrhea. avian species and mammals are the chief reservoirs, although the organism has been isolated from contaminated drinking water and unpasteurized milk. transmission usually occurs by the fecal-oral route through ingestion of contaminated food or water or by direct contact with feces of infected humans or animals. persons affected have abdominal pain, watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, and constituti ... | 1984 | 6709538 |
| abortion in the dog due to campylobacter species. | campylobacter jejuni was isolated from a wheaten terrier bitch which had aborted (in southern idaho). a campylobacter of undetermined species also was isolated from aborted poodle pups (in central washington). it appears that persons may have been the source of infection in the idaho event, but the source for the other was not speculated. these findings of perinatal death due to campylobacter in dogs from widely separated areas indicate that pathologic evaluation of cases involving premature and ... | 1984 | 6711985 |
| association of campylobacter jejuni with laying hens and eggs. | laying hens were individually caged at 20 weeks of age and tested for fecal excretion of campylobacter jejuni (minimum level of detection was 100 cfu/g) during a 42-week period. peak rates of c. jejuni isolation (approximately 25% of hens positive) occurred at two different times, in october and in late april to early may. before being segregated in late september, birds were allowed to consume fecal matter, litter, and communal drinking water, all likely sources of c. jejuni. the increased excr ... | 1984 | 6712220 |
| jejunal infection with campylobacter. | a patient had common variable immunodeficiency, chronic malabsorption, and campylobacter jejuni infection. infection was diagnosed by jejunal aspiration. a follow-up jejunal aspirate was culture positive at the same time that a stool culture was negative. infection resulted in worsening of chronic diarrhea, but it was not associated with clinical features of colitis or proctitis. the duration of infection was prolonged and initial antimicrobial therapy was ineffective. single drug therapy with e ... | 1984 | 6712398 |
| hemolytic uremic syndrome after campylobacter-induced diarrhea in an adult. | campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni is a recognized pathogen of the gastrointestinal (gi) tract resulting in a spectrum of illness from mild gastroenteritis to severe colitis with bloody diarrhea. campylobacter is also being recognized as capable of producing systemic illness. furthermore, antibody response, hypocomplementemia, and bacteremia with enterotoxic organisms have been described. many of the clinical features, both local (le, in the gi tract) and systemic, parallel those of shigella. ... | 1984 | 6712399 |
| human serum antibody response to campylobacter jejuni infection as measured in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was adapted to measure immunoglobulin a (iga), igg, and igm classes of human serum antibody to campylobacter jejuni. sera were tested from healthy controls, from ill persons at various intervals after exposure to an epidemiologically implicated vehicle for campylobacter sp. enteritis, from persons exposed to these same vehicles who remained well, and from persons who chronically drank raw milk. the major antigens in the c. jejuni acid-washed antigen preparati ... | 1984 | 6715034 |
| comparative efficacy of liquid enrichment medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni. | isolation of campylobacter jejuni from 1,249 human fecal specimens by direct inoculation on selective columbia agar and liquid enrichment medium was compared. the use of liquid enrichment medium provided a 30% higher isolation rate of c. jejuni. the overall isolation rate achieved by using direct plating and enrichment together was 8.2%. | 1984 | 6715514 |
