| enrichment medium and control system for isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from stools. | enrichment culture with a semisolid medium increased by 6% the isolation rate of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. the semisolid enrichment medium was also used successfully as a transport medium for campylobacter isolates. a blood agar plate streaked with pseudomonas aeruginosa, clostridium perfringens, and a laboratory strain of campylobacter was a good control system for the microaerophilic atmosphere. good growth of all three organisms indicated satisfactory conditions for culturing campylo ... | 1982 | 6764764 |
| evaluation of the campypak ii gas generator system for isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. | the campypak ii (bbl microbiology systems, cockeysville, md.) method for isolating campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni was evaluated with clinical specimens by comparison with an evacuation replacement procedure. of 757 specimens, 26 (3.4%) were positive for c. fetus subsp. jejuni. all 26 were recovered by both systems. no difference was found in the time necessary for isolation, except with one isolate that required 3 days for isolation with campypak ii and 2 days with the established procedure. ... | 1982 | 6764774 |
| comparison of atmospheres of incubation for primary isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from animal specimens: 5% oxygen versus candle jar. | an atmosphere with reduced oxygen tension is required for the primary isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. therefore, we compared use of the conventional atmosphere of 5% oxygen and 8% carbon dioxide with use of a candle jar (17% oxygen and 3% carbon dioxide) for primary isolation of c. fetus subsp. jejuni from 263 positive canine, cattle, and turkey fecal or cecal specimens. at an incubation temperature of 42 degrees c, the atmosphere with 5% oxygen resulted in more campylobacter col ... | 1982 | 6764778 |
| dark-field microscopy of human feces for presumptive diagnosis of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni enteritis. | to determine the value of direct dark-field microscopy for diagnosing enteritis due to campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, we examined 1,377 human fecal specimens for bacteria with typical campylobacter darting motility, leukocytes, and erythrocytes. eighty-four specimens (6.1%) grew c.fetus subsp. jejuni. of the 48 specimens showing campylobacter motility, 30 (62%) grew c. fetus subsp. jejuni. the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of observing campylobacter motility were 36%, 99%, a ... | 1982 | 6764779 |
| comparison of agglutination, complement fixation and immunofluorescence tests in campylobacter jejuni infections. | good antibody responses usually follow infection with campylobacter jejuni. a comparison of agglutination, complement fixation and immunofluorescence tests was done on 55 sera from 40 sporadic patients with diarrhoeal disease and positive cultures for c. jejuni. results showed 82% positive with immunofluorescence, 62% by complement fixation but only 38% by agglutination, using two reference strains cop and mel as antigens. overall 90% of the 40 patients were positive by one or more serological t ... | 1982 | 7037946 |
| susceptibility testing of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, using broth microdilution panels. | twenty-five isolates of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were tested by broth microdilution panels (sensititre; gibco diagnostics, chagrin falls, ohio) and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (mics) were compared with the corresponding mics obtained by the standard agar dilution technique. microdilution panels designed for testing gram-positive organisms were used so that erythromycin, the antibiotic of choice for this organism, could be included. the correlation with agar dilution was relati ... | 1982 | 7041814 |
| a selective medium for isolating campylobacter jejuni/coli. | skirrow's medium is effective for isolating campylobacters from human faeces but is less suitable for animal and environmental specimens owing to the presence of contaminating species. after determining the sensitivity of 104 strains of campylobacters to several antimicrobial agents, used singly and in various combinations, a selective medium incorporating polymixin, rifampicin, trimethoprim and actidione, was developed. the medium, called preston medium, was shown to be more selective than skir ... | 1982 | 7042765 |
| prevalence of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in healthy populations in southern india. | campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni was isolated from the feces of 14.8% of a random sample of the healthy population of rural southern india. the rate of isolation was highest in preschool children. this finding emphasizes the need to identify markers of pathogenicity in strains of c. fetus subsp. jejuni, which so far are identified only by cultural characteristics. the pathogenic role of this organism in patients with diarrhoea in tropical developing countries can be understood when such markers ... | 1982 | 7047550 |
| comparison of rectal swabs and stool cultures in detecting campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. | rectal swabs and stool specimens were compared for the detection of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in marmosets. rectal swabs were superior to stool specimens for detection of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni (p = 0.016). preliminary human data are also presented. | 1982 | 7047561 |
