| a simple technique for mass cultivation of campylobacter fetus. | studies using 86 media for maximum growth of campylobacter fetus for antigen production showed that a diphasic medium (solid base with liquid overlay) was most suitable. the solid base was double strength cystine heart agar. the liquid overlay was thioglycollate medium of brewer (135-c) without agar. this medium yielded maximum growth of c. fetus in six days with good motility, less clumping and less filament formation than all other media tried. | 1976 | 1000394 |
| vibrio fetus endocarditis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. | vibrio fetus endocarditis occurred in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving azathoprin and prednisone. blood cultures required 14 days to become positive. the fastidious growth requirement of this organism is reviewed because lack of appreciation of these may result in failure to make the diagnosis. this is the first reported case of vibrio fetus endocarditis occurring in the setting of a connective tissue disorder and immunosuppressive therapy. | 1976 | 1015513 |
| cystine aminopeptidase activity (oxytocinase) in pregnant guinea pigs: normal and infected with campylobacter fetus. | the cystine aminopeptidase (cap) activity was determined in plasma from guinea pigs at various stages of gestation and in pregnant guinea pigs infected with campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis. the cap activity decreased with length of gestation, which is in contrast to the changes in activity in persons. infected guinea pigs near the time of abortion can be distinguished from normal guinea pigs on the basis of plasma cap activity, if the plasma samples are taken 1 to 2 days before abort ... | 1976 | 1259230 |
| ovine campylobacterosis: preliminary studies of the efficacy of the in vitro serum bactericidal test as an assay for the potency of campylobacter (vibrio) fetus subsp intestinalis bacterins. | an in vitro serum bactericidal test was developed to assess the efficacy of campylobacter fetus bacterins. four experimental monovalent bacterins (either serotype c or a-2) and 2 commercial bivalent bacterins (a "suspect" and an "efficacious" bacterin) with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant were administered to sheep and rabbits from which antiserums were then prepared. the different vaccines were evaluated by comparing the in vitro bactericidal activity of the sheep and rabbit antiserums. results of ... | 1976 | 1267237 |
| major outer membrane protein of campylobacter fetus: physical and immunological characterization. | the outer membrane proteins of campylobacter fetus have been isolated by extraction of cell envelopes both in triton x-100 and ethylenediaminetetraacetate (edta) and in sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds). each method yielded a major protein component, which migrated identically in sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) and proved comparable in electrophoretic and molecular weight characteristics to the analagous protein from escherichia coli. in addition, the surface of sds-extracted c. fet ... | 1976 | 819374 |
| antibody-mediated immobilization of campylobacter fetus: inhibition by a somatic antigen. | immobilization tests were conducted on a wild-type strain of campylobacter fetus subsp. intestinalis and on a mutant lacking an antiphagocytic cell surface component. highly effective immobilization of the mutant, both as single cells and clumps of cells, was produced with an antiserum containing antibodies specific for the flagellar hook and filament and for the o antigen. damage to flagellar hooks after reaction with this antiserum was observed only with cells of the mutant. single-cell immob ... | 1976 | 819375 |
| spontaneous peritonitis of cirrhosis due to campylobacter fetus. | an unusual case of spontaneous peritonitis of cirrhosis associated with campylobacter fetus is reported. this microaerophilic gram-negative bacillus has been increasingly associated with human disease recently, particularly in patients with cirrhosis. the infection is characteristically relapsing in nature and requires protracted antimicrobial therapy. | 1976 | 780182 |
| [isolation of campylobacter fetus in two herds of sheep in sweden (author's transl)]. | in two herds of sheep with numerous abortions campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis was isolated from fetuses, fetal membranes, and faecal specimens. in herd a, with good hygiene, 12 ewes out of 250 aborted. in herd b, with poor hygiene, 54 out of 171 ewes aborted and 14 of them died; for a further 9 ewes the lambs died postnatally. the clinical course in both herds shows that proper supervision and possibilities of prompt isolation of aborting ewes can substantially reduce the spread of i ... | 1976 | 790309 |
| campylobacter fetus associated with pulmonary abscess and empyema. | an unusual case of community-acquired necrotizing aspiration pneumonia with pulmonary abscess and empyema associated with campylobacter fetus (formerly vibrio fetus) in mixed culture is reported. this microaerophilic gram-negative curved bacillus has been increasingly associated with human disease. unlike most pathogens associated with community-acquired aspiration pneumonia, this organism is usually resistant to penicillin. infection associated with this organism is characteristically relapsing ... | 1977 | 830489 |

| an abattoir survey of bull genitalia. | this paper describes a survey of 504 bull genitalia collected after slaughter at 3 western australian abattoirs over 18 months. details of the gross pathology, histopathology, and microbiology of the genitalia, and physical dimensions of the testicles are presented. the major breeds represented were hereford (30%), shorthorn (16%), friesian (14.3%), and aberdeen angus (13.9%). the mean age of 263 bulls (52.6%) was 4.4 years. the mean length and breadth of 469 paired testicles was 10.8 cm and 6.9 ... | 1977 | 901333 |
| the effect of the nitroimidazole drug dimetridazole on microaerophilic campylobacters. | dimetridazole, a nitroimidazole drug reported to act only on obligately anaerobic micro-organisms, is widely used for the prevention and treatment of swine dysentery. forty-four strains of the microaerophilic bacterium campylobacter coli isolated from either healthy or diseased pigs, and a strain of campylobacter fetus, were all sensitive to dimetridazole. the sensitivities (minimal inhibitory concentration less than 10 microng per ml) were similar to those of anaerobic bacteria. dimetridazole i ... | 1977 | 558335 |
| isolation of campylobacter fetus from recent cases of human vibriosis. | campylobacter fetus was isolated from five recent cases of human vibriosis, of which two were adults and three were children. one adult presented with pericarditis and the other with recurrent pyrexia. campylobacter fetus subsp. intestinalis which resembled cattle strains serologically, was isolated under co2 or anaerobic conditions from blood cultures of these patients. two of the three children had kwashiorkor and the third was only 8 days old. isolates identified as campylobacter fetus subsp. ... | 1977 | 270524 |
| blastogenic transformation by lipopolysaccharide of blood leukocytes from immunized but not normal cattle. | escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide produced blastogenic transformation in whole-blood leukocytes from heifers that had been infected and immunized with campylobacter fetus, but not in cells from control animals. this suggests that lipopolysaccharide dose not function as a b-cell mitogen in cattle and that its stimulation of cells from immunized animals occurred through another mechanism. | 1977 | 330414 |
| the isolation and nature of campylobacters (microaerophilic vibrios) from laboratory and wild rodents. | faeces voided by eight species of laboratory or feral rodents were cultured for campylobacters by means of selective methods. campylobacters were isolated from bank voles and from rats, but not from rabbits, laboratory mice, hamsters, guinea-pigs, field mice or field voles. in routine biochemical tests isolates from bank voles resembled a type of campylobacter fetus that causes infectious infertility in cattle; isolates from rats resembled campylobacter coli associated with swine dysentery. elec ... | 1977 | 330861 |
| campylobacter fetus (vibrio fetus) infection in dairy herds in south-west scotland. | infertility and abortion caused by campylobacter fetus is described in a series of 12 herds in south west scotland during the period may 1974 to december 1976. herd studies show that 44 bulls were involved and that there were 34 bull and 18 cow movements for breeding purposes. the need to include c fetus infection in the differential diagnosis of herd infertility is emphasised. | 1977 | 595301 |

| susceptibility of campylobacter fetus to twenty-two antimicrobial agents. | in vitro susceptibility of 11 recent clinical isolates of campylobacter fetus to 22 antimicrobial agents was determined by an agar dilution technique. unlike most obligate anaerobic gram-negative bacilli, c. fetus isolates tested were relatively resistant to penicillin and cephalosporins, but exquisitely susceptible to tetracyclines and aminoglycosides. all strains were also inhibited at concentrations achievable in serum by clindamycin, chloramphenicol, metronidazole, carbenicillin, ticarcillin ... | 1978 | 263884 |
| passive transmission of campylobacter fetus by immunised bulls. | two groups of 24 heifers were mated with 3 immunised and 3 susceptible bulls respectively. six heifers in each group were infected artificially with campylobacter fetus sub-sp. fetus biotype venerealis. among susceptible heifers mated with immunised bulls, 13/18 became pregnant and 5/18 yielded evidence of infection with c. fetus. among susceptible heifers mated with susceptible bulls, 7/18 became pregnant and 10/18 yielded evidence of infection. c. fetus was isolated on one occasion from an imm ... | 1978 | 582385 |
| bovine venereal campylobacteriosis (vibriosis) in north east scotland. | since january 1978 four outbreaks of bovine venereal campylobacteriosis, associated with campylobacter fetus subspp fetus, have been investigated. the herds demonstrated a variety of presenting signs, and the outbreaks were confirmed by vaginal mucus agglutination tests and isolation of c fetus subspp fetus. a greater recovery of c fetus was achieved by reducing the oxygen tension in the atmosphere used for incubation to a greater extent than usual. bradford's brucella agar was found to be a sui ... | 1979 | 583185 |
| studies of the microaerophilic nature of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. ii. role of exogenous superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide. | the addition of bovine superoxide dismutase to brucella broth or brucellar agar greatly echanced the oxygen tolerance of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni strain h840 (atcc 29428). catalase also enhanced oxygen tolerance, but to a lesser extent. these enzymes must act externally to the bacteria. all of the diverse compounds which enhance oxygen tolerance of c. fetus, including nor-epinephrine and a combination of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium pyruvate, share the ability to qu ... | 1979 | 218715 |
| etiology of infantile enteritis in south africa. | infantile enteritis constitutes a major health problem in developing countries. several investigations into the etiology of this condition among various south african populations have been undertaken during the past few years. recent studies of black urban infants have revealed that salmonellae, shigellae, enterotoxigenic enterobacteriaceae, and rotaviruses play a relatively minor role in infantile enteritis. on the other hand, all studies, including a number performed several years ago, have de ... | 1979 | 221438 |
| campylobacter fetus infection in human subjects: association with raw milk. | within a three week period, four cases of campylobacter fetus infection were identified in a hospital in los angeles county. three of the four patients had drunk large quantities of an identical brand of commercially available certified raw milk. campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni was isolated from the blood of these three patients. the fourth patient, who did not drink raw milk, had campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis isolated from his blood. a telephone survey comparing cases and co ... | 1979 | 571676 |

| antimicrobial susceptibility of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus to eight cephalosporins with special reference to species differentiation. | agar dilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that campylobacter jejuni was significantly more resistant than campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus (intestinalis) to cephalosporin c, cephaloridine, cephalothin, cefazolin, and cefamandole. no species differences in susceptibility were noted with cephalexin, cefotaxime, and cefoxitin. rapid species differentiation on the basis of an antibiogram could be achieved with the disk diffusion method. c jejuni failed to produce a zone of inhibition ... | 1980 | 7235681 |
| the clinical spectrum of campylobacter fetus infections: report of five cases and review of the literature. | five cases of extra-intestinal campylobacter fetus infections are described and an additional 242 cases are reviewed from the literature. a variety of clinical syndromes are encountered including endocarditis; thrombophlebitis; meningitis; pneumonia and pleuritis; and infectious arthritis. thirty-eight per cent of patients presented with bacteremia enteritis. campylobacter fetus demonstrates a preference for endovascular surfaces. the majority of patients are male and have an underlying illness. ... | 1980 | 7267960 |
| isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from bangladeshi children. | to determine the prevalence of infection with campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in bangladesh, culture surveys were conducted among three populations. in dacca, campylobacter was isolated from 5.2% of 97 individuals with clinical dysentery and from 12.3% of 204 patients with only diarrhea. this difference may have resulted from a greater representation of young children in the second group. campylobacter was isolated from 17.7% of the 141 healthy village children aged 1 to 5.5 years and from 38. ... | 1980 | 7309841 |

| acute colitis caused by campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni. | campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni has been recently recognized as a common human enteric pathogen; however, the pathology and pathophysiology of the enteritis caused by this agent are still largely obscure. we report 4 patients who presented with acute abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea and who had c. fetus ss. jejuni isolated from fecal cultures. each patient showed a fourfold rise in serum igg titer to the organism isolated. in all 4 patients colonic involvement was noted on sigmoidoscopic examin ... | 1980 | 7351284 |
| [the presence of campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni in normal slaughtered pigs (author's transl)]. | as part of epidemiological studies the intestinal contents of 300 normal slaughtered pigs were examined for the presence of c. fetus jejuni. samples were collected from six different slaughter houses. from 182 of these samples (60.7 per cent) c. fetus spp. jejuni was isolated using the method as described by lauwers (8). isolates were confirmed by the results of the following tests: oxidase, catalase, motility, growth at 25 degrees c, production of h2s, reduction of nitrate, growth in 3.5 per ce ... | 1980 | 7352330 |
| hippurate hydrolysis by campylobacter fetus. | an additional method for differentiating between campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni and c. fetus subsp. intestinalis is reported. strains of c. fetus subsp. jejuni (18/20) were shown to hydrolyze hippurate in the 2-h rapid test, whereas strains of c. fetus subsp. intestinalis did not. | 1980 | 7372805 |
| reservoirs for human campylobacteriosis. | the epidemiology of human enteric infection due to campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni is not well understood. to determine whether an endogenous human reservoir is present, the rate of isolation of c. fetus subspecies jejuni from several populations of diarrheal and asymptomatic adults and children were compared. c. fetus subspecies jejuni was recovered from 4.1% of patients with diarrhea and 66.7% of household contacts of the index patients who themselves had diarrhea. carriage of organisms ... | 1980 | 7373089 |
| mucosal invasion in campylobacter enteritis. | campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni has recently been recognized as a significant cause of enteritis in humans. the organism has been previously postulated to cause illness by direct invasion of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, but this has not been documented. reported is a case of campylobacter enteritis in which mucosal ulceration and crypt sbscesses were seen on rectal biopsy, suggesting that the pathogenesis of campylobacter fetus enteritis involves direct mucosal invasion. | 1980 | 7377140 |
| campylobacter colitis presentin as inflammatory bowel disease with segmental colonic ulcerations. | campylobacter fetus subspecies have recently been recognized as an important cause of diarrheal illness in humans. we report a case of culture positive c. fetus colitis with colonoscopic findings of segmental mucosal edema, loss of normal vascular pattern with ulceration, and patchy involvement of mucosa. these colonoscopic findings were similar to those seen in granulomatous colitis. however, these findings may be difficult to distinguish from a number of other colonic mucosal diseases such as ... | 1980 | 7380209 |
| cellular fatty acid composition of campylobacter fetus. | the cellular fatty acid composition of 29 human and animal isolates of campylobacter fetus was determined with gas-liquid chromatography. all strains contained small amounts of 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, suggesting the presence of lipid a. each of 13 different blood or stool isolates of c. fetus subsp. jejuni obtained from humans or fowl contained a 19-carbon cyclopropane acid which was not present in c. fetus subsp. fetus (6 strains from cattle) or c. fetus subsp. intestinalis (10 strains fro ... | 1980 | 7381008 |
| broiler chickens as potential source of campylobacter infections in humans. | of 46 broiler chickens from a live poultry market in new york city, 38 (83%) harbored campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in their rectal flora. the observed mean number of c. fetus per g of feces was 4.4 x 10(6). the organisms survived in the feces for at least 96 h at 4 degrees c whether stored in the gut or transferred to a vial. the best survival medium for pure cultures of c. fetus subsp.jejuni was heart infusion broth supplemented with sterile blood and kept in a microaerophilic atmosphere. | 1980 | 7381018 |
