| human campylobacter infection associated with certified raw milk. | between may 27 and june 18, 1981, 50 individuals in 30 households in suburban atlanta, georgia, had a gastrointestinal illness caused by campylobacter jejuni. epidemiologic evidence strongly associated consumption of unpasteurized milk with illness. a culture survey confirmed fecal carriage of c. jejuni by cows in the implicated dairy and in a control dairy, but failed to document presence of the organism in the milk. the standard plate counts and leukocyte counts (two indicators of microbiologi ... | 1983 | 6837559 |
| campylobacter hyointestinalis (new species) isolated from swine with lesions of proliferative ileitis. | intestines from 48 swine with enteric disease were examined by bacteriologic cultural technique for the presence of various campylobacter species. histopathologic techniques were used to determine whether the submitted specimens had lesions of either swine proliferative ileitis or other enteric diseases. three species of campylobacter were identified as campylobacter jejuni/coli, campylobacter sputorum ss mucosalis, and campylobacter hyointestinalis (proposed new species) on the basis of biochem ... | 1983 | 6838031 |
| isolation of plasmids encoding tetracycline resistance from campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from simians. | fifteen isolates of tetracycline-resistant campylobacter jejuni were recovered from stool samples of cynomologous monkeys (macaca fascicularis) housed at the university of washington primate research center, seattle. resistance was associated with carriage of a 38-megadalton plasmid which was transmissible to other strains of c. jejuni but not to escherichia coli. seven isolates also contained a 2.6-megadalton plasmid which was phenotypically cryptic. | 1983 | 6838189 |
| occurrence of plasmid dna in serologically defined strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | forty campylobacter jejuni and 17 campylobacter coli strains that constitute the set of reference strains for our serotyping scheme were each examined for the presence of plasmid dna. agarose gel electrophoresis of alkaline-extracted dna showed the occurrence of 29 bands in 11 c. jejuni strains and 40 bands in c. coli strains. plasmids ranged in size from 1.6 to 70 megadaltons. most strains that carried plasmids had between 2 and 6 of them; however, one strain had 14 plasmids, and two strains co ... | 1983 | 6840847 |
| serologic study of two clusters of infection due to campylobacter jejuni. | the serologic responses to campylobacter jejuni in persons involved in two clusters of infection and in control subjects were studied. in the first cluster, in which previously unexposed persons drank raw milk, the attack rate was high and elevated complement-fixing (cf) and specific igg and igm antibodies were demonstrated. in the second cluster, involving farmers who chronically drank raw milk, the attack rate was low, but titers of cf and igg antibodies were high in both affected and unaffect ... | 1983 | 6842019 |

| effect of incubation atmosphere and temperature on isolation of campylobacter jejuni from human stools. | to determine the optimal conditions for isolation of campylobacter jejuni from human fecal specimens, we compared incubation atmospheres that contained about 5, 10, and 15% oxygen with the 17% oxygen produced in candle jars and also compared incubation temperatures of 37 and 42 degrees c. at 42 degrees c, c. jejuni was isolated from all 16 specimens; however, colony sizes were larger when plates were incubated in 5 and 10% oxygen than in the other two atmospheres. at 37 degrees c some positive c ... | 1983 | 6850426 |
| attempts to isolate campylobacter jejuni from various body sites. | clinical material collected from various body sites, but excluding faeces, was cultured on either selective or non-selective media for campylobacter spp. campylobacter jejuni was found in only two (0.18%) of 1100 specimens; both positive specimens were urine. from these results it is suggested that c jejuni is an uncommon finding in clinical material other than faeces. | 1983 | 6853732 |
| identification of campylobacter jejuni in macaca fascicularis imported from indonesia. | campylobacter jejuni was selectively cultured in 33 (66%) of 50 macaca fascicularis that had been imported from indonesia. as there was no published information on the incidence of campylobacter infection in nonhuman primates from indonesia, a survey was conducted to determine the presence and incidence of campylobacter jejuni in 50 macaques before they were exported from indonesia. the organism was positively identified in 18 (36%) of the specimens examined. repeat cultures after importation an ... | 1983 | 6855191 |
| role of clostridium difficile and campylobacter jejuni in relapses of inflammatory bowel disease. | findings from recent studies on the role of clostridium difficile and campylobacter jejuni in exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease are in conflict. we examined stool specimens from 32 patients who had inflammatory bowel disease in relapse for the presence of c difficile and c difficile cytotoxin. in the last 19 cases stool specimens were also cultured for c jejuni. c difficile was identified in one patient who was receiving antimicrobial therapy. in no patient was c difficile cytotoxin de ... | 1983 | 6858121 |
| campylobacter enteritis from untreated water in the rocky mountains. | during the summers of 1980 and 1981 campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 23% and giardia lamblia was isolated from 8% of persons with diarrheal disease acquired in the area of grand teton national park, wyoming. campylobacter enteritis occurred most frequently in young adults who had been hiking in wilderness areas and was significantly associated with drinking untreated surface water in the week before illness (p less than 0.02 in 1980; p less than 0.005 in 1981). penner serotype 4 was the co ... | 1983 | 6859722 |

| selective enrichment broth medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni. | a new selective campylobacter enrichment broth for the isolation of campylobacter jejuni has been tested with fecal specimens of human, poultry, and bovine origin. we compared the isolation rate with that from the simultaneous direct plating of a duplicate specimen. of the 380 duplicate specimens examined comparatively, we obtained a 46.3% increase in isolation of c. jejuni by using the new campylobacter enrichment broth medium. | 1983 | 6863504 |
| location of campylobacter jejuni in infected chicken livers. | to determine whether chicken livers infected with campylobacter jejuni are seeded in vivo or contaminated after slaughtering, 117 livers purchased in retail outlets in new york were examined for surface and tissue infections. of 56 livers positive for c. jejuni, 36 yielded surface growth only, 18 both surface and tissue growth, and 2 tissue growth only. the scanty growth from tissue samples suggests a carry-over of organisms from the surface. it was concluded, therefore, that contamination is mo ... | 1983 | 6863511 |
| profuse diarrhea induced by campylobacter. | a 31-year-old woman with a five-day prodrome of fever, chills, and diarrhea was hospitalized with severe dehydration and profuse diarrhea due to infection with campylobacter jejuni. stool volumes were as high as 8,800 ml per 24 hours. treatment with intravenous fluids, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and an oral isotonic glucose-sodium solution produced rapid improvement, suggesting a possible role for oral fluid and electrolyte replacement in campylobacter enteritis. | 1983 | 6867812 |

| ferret as a potential reservoir for human campylobacteriosis. | a survey was conducted to determine the frequency of campylobacter fetus subsp jejuni in feces of ferrets purchased for use in biomedical research. over a 12-month period, 168 ferrets from 2 commercial breeders were examined by bacteriologic cultural procedures for campylobacter spp; 61% were culturally positive for c fetus subsp jejuni. in a therapeutic trial with 16 ferrets shedding c fetus subsp jejuni in feces, erythromycin given orally failed to eliminate intestinal carriage of the organism ... | 1983 | 6870007 |
| susceptibility of clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni to sixteen antimicrobial agents. | the activities of 16 antimicrobial agents against 103 clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni were tested. all the strains were susceptible to kanamycin and gentamicin. chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, and clindamycin were active against most of the strains. more than one-third of the strains were resistant to the tetracyclines and 12.5% were resistant to erythromycin. | 1983 | 6870228 |
| isolation of campylobacter jejuni from an aborted caprine fetus. | campylobacter jejuni was isolated in pure culture from the tissues and stomach contents of an aborted fetus from a mixed-breed illinois goat herd. in the herd, 5 of 21 does aborted in late gestation. the does had diarrhea before or concurrent with the abortions. does that did not abort were vaccinated with ovine c fetus bacterin and were given chlortetracycline orally at the rate of 75 mg/day for 2 weeks. further abortions did not occur. | 1983 | 6874530 |
| role of dna and bacteriophage in campylobacter auto-agglutination. | auto-agglutinated and non-agglutinated cells of campylobacter jejuni and c. coli were examined by transmission electronmicroscopy in phosphotungstate negative stain. agglutination was induced by three factors (1) extracellular dna, (2) an aggregated protein, probably a bacteriophage precursor, and (3) free phage-tail sheaths. auto-agglutinated cells were often "leaky," with a mantle of adhering dna. about 80% of the auto-agglutinated cells could be resuspended after treatment with dnaase. flagel ... | 1983 | 6876138 |
| campylobacter jejuni isolated from patas monkeys with diarrhea. | campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 11 (46%) of 24 patas monkeys with chronic diarrhea. eight of these 11 (73%) monkey were characterized clinically by mucohemorrhagic diarrhea for periods up to a month followed by loose, semi-formed feces for a 12-month period. half of the monkeys were treated with erythromycin for 10 days and the other half with tetracycline for 10 days, with all responding to treatment. despite treatment, all monkeys again had an outbreak of mucohemorrhagic diarrhea. biops ... | 1983 | 6876739 |

| an outbreak of campylobacter enteritis among the staff of a poultry abattoir in sweden. | in the middle of june 1980 an explosive outbreak of campylobacter enteritis occurred among the staff of a poultry abattoir in southern sweden. in all 37 cases of acute gastroenteritis originating from the abattoir were reported and campylobacter jejuni was isolated from the stools in 24 of them. when the outbreak occurred, a large proportion of the ordinary staff had been replaced by inexperienced teenagers working during their holidays. a specially big slaughter had also taken place the same we ... | 1983 | 6879114 |
| symmetrical reactive oligoarthritis after campylobacter jejuni enteritis--case report and study of the synovial complement. | a 34-year-old man, in whom sacroiliitis had been diagnosed 5 years previously, presented in july 1982 with reactive arthritis following campylobacter jejuni enteritis. diarrhoea was stopped by erythromycin but joint effusion recurred. in order to clarify the relationship between campylobacter jejuni and the immunological system, we proceeded with a study of the synovial complement. the results were compared with those obtained in some other arthropathies. | 1983 | 6880409 |
| serum antibodies in campylobacter enteritis. | a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay method for the measurement of total and class-specific serum antibodies to campylobacter jejuni was developed. the test was found to be both sensitive and specific. immunoglobulin m, g, and a antibodies were detected in about 90% of sera collected from patients recovering from campylobacter enteritis, with the pattern of appearance and decline of these antibodies conforming to that usually seen in an acute infection. a poor antibody response was noted in patients ... | 1983 | 6885981 |
| campylobacter jejuni as a bacterial cause of diarrhoea in ile-ife, nigeria. | a total of 495 diarrhoea and non-diarrhoea patients whose ages ranged between 5 and 39 years were examined for the presence of campylobacter jejuni, salmonella and shigella species. about 12% of the specimens from diarrhoea patients were positive for campylobacter jejuni compared with 6% and 10% for salmonella and shigella species. in contrast 2%, 0% and 1% of the samples from non-diarrhoea patients were positive for campylobacter jejuni, salmonella and shigella species respectively. most (62%) ... | 1983 | 6886413 |
| epidemiologic and clinical features of endemic campylobacter jejuni infection in bangladesh. | epidemiologic and clinical features of infection with campylobacter jejuni in bangladesh were examined in (1) diarrheal patients infected with c jejuni, (2) healthy control subjects, and (3) village children who were cultured monthly and at each diarrheal episode during a 10-month period. c jejuni was isolated from 437 (14%) of 3,038 outpatients with diarrhea. these patients had no distinct clinical presentation and were more likely to have a mixed infection than were patients infected with othe ... | 1983 | 6886491 |
| experience with the microbiologic diagnosis of campylobacter enteritis in an office laboratory. | campylobacter jejuni has been recognized as a frequent cause of bacterial diarrhea in infants and children. c. jejuni is a fastidious, gram-negative, comma-shaped or sea gull-shaped, curved rod which is capable, particularly during the summer months, of causing slimy mucoid, blood diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever. in our pediatric office laboratory we found over a 12-month period that 14 (10%) of 126 stool specimens contained this pathogen. all but two children were diagnosed during the late s ... | 1983 | 6889157 |
| survival of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in biological milieus. | to provide new information on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of human infection with campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, we studied its survival in several milieus. standard inocula of organisms were placed in hydrochloric acid, human bile and urine, bovine milk, or stream water and kept at 4, 25, or 37 degrees c; viable organisms were then counted. stools from humans infected with campylobacter were similarly tested. survival in acid was ph and time dependent, with 7-log kill within 5 min ... | 1980 | 6892819 |
| campylobacter jejuni enterocolitis. a clinicopathologic study. | sixteen patients with diarrhea due to campylobacter jejuni seen within a one-year period at a general hospital were studied to review the clinical and pathological features of this illness. campylobacter jejuni causes an acute diarrheal illness often associated with fever, delayed-onset hematochezia, and severe abdominal pain. roentgenographically, one may see colonic and ileal ulceration. sigmoidoscopically, the rectal appearance is similar to that from acute idiopathic ulcerative colitis, whil ... | 1980 | 6893534 |
| campylobacter enteritis associated with the consumption of free school milk. | a large outbreak of campylobacter enteritis associated with the consumption of free school milk is described. the outbreak had an abrupt onset, and lasted for about 3 weeks; it involved mainly school children in the 2-4 and 5-7 year old age groups. during this period it was established from epidemiological and microbiological data that some 2500 children were infected. the source of the epidemic was almost certainly contaminated milk, although bacteriological proof could not be obtained. biotypi ... | 1981 | 6895230 |
| serological studies in two outbreaks of campylobacter jejuni infection. | two outbreaks of campylobacter enteritis in residential student populations are described. in the first outbreak, 34 of 240 students in one hall of residence became ill over the course of 4 or 5 days. a single serotype of c. jejuni was isolated from sample of faeces. sera collected demonstrated that the students had little pre-existing antibody and antibody responses were demonstrated in those who were infected. about 30% of students with serological evidence for infection with c. jejuni did not ... | 1981 | 6895231 |
