campylobacter fetus subsp jejuni: its possible significance in enteric disease of calves and lambs.	fecal samples from 127 diarrheic and 3 healthy beef calves, representing 25 herds with enteric disease, were cultured for campylobacter, using filtration and a selective medium. campylobacter fetus subsp jejuni (cfj) was isolated from 51 (40%) of the diarrheic calves representing 14 (56%) herds and from the 3 clinically healthy calves (1 each in 3 of these 14 herds). campylobacter fetus subsp intestinalis was not isolated from the calves. fecal samples from 36 diarrheic and 20 healthy lambs repr ...	1981	7283242
intestinal colonization of neonatal animals by campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni.	neonatal mice (2.3 to 2.8 g) were inoculated intragastrically with different human isolates of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. at weekly intervals thereafter, mice were sacrificed and dilution plate counts were performed on segments of the gastrointestinal tract. mice were uniformly colonized by some strains for 2 weeks, whereas other strains were being cleared at that time. one strain (bo216) persisted in some mice for 3 weeks. the greatest number of organisms (10(7)) was recovered from the ...	1981	7287188
evaluation of media for isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from fecal specimens.	isolation rates of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from human fecal specimens were equivalent after broth enrichment (thioglycolate medium containing antibiotics) and direct inoculation on two brucella blood agar media containing ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium pyruvate, identical concentrations of vancomycin and trimethoprim, and different concentrations of polymyxin b and cephalothin. studies with clinical isolates of c. fetus subsp. jejuni demonstrated temperature-dependen ...	1981	7287894
[infantile campylobacter enteritis (author's transl)].	9 children with campylobacter enteritis aging from 3 days to 4 years were seen over a 8-month period. in 2 cases prompt recovery was achieved by erythromycin therapy. in the remaining 7 cases, the course was most often very mild, and symptomatic therapy was sufficient. epidemiologically, the incidence of campylobacter enteritis is comparable to that of salmonella enteritis. obviously, birds and poultry, but also dogs, cats, sheep and other domestic and farm animals are important sources of infec ...	1981	7289425
production of enteritis in calves by the oral inoculation of pure cultures of campylobacter fecalis.	pure cultures of an isolate of campylobacter fecalis obtained from an abomasal lesion in an 18-month-old heifer were used to infect calves in two experiments. three milk fed calves were infected in experiment 1 and the clinical features noted included mild changes in faecal consistency. in experiment 2, three ruminating calves were infected and blood and mucus were seen in the faeces but faecal consistency remained firm or soft and no diarrhoea was noted. rectal temperatures in the infected anim ...	1981	7292949
campylobacter gastroenteritis in neonates.	campylobacter fetus enteritis is thought to be an unusual infection in the newborn. we describe eight term neonates with gastroenteritis caused by c fetus subspecies jejuni who were seen during a two-year period. symptoms of bloody diarrhea (7/8) and irritability (6/8) began between 2 and 11 days of age. none of the infants was seriously ill; only one infant was febrile. none of the seven infants who had blood cultures drawn had bacteremia with c fetus, and none of the infants had complications. ...	1981	7293989
transmissible plasmids from campylobacter jejuni.	tetracycline resistance in clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni was shown to be plasmid mediated. intra- and interspecies transfers to c. fetus subsp. fetus were demonstrated. the frequency of transfer was increased by approximately 100-fold on a solid surface by using a plate- or filter-mating procedure, as compared with a liquid-mating method. results of experiments in which cell-free filtrates were used to replace the donor strain in mating experiments tend to rule out bacteriophage-medi ...	1981	7294767

[campylobacter jejuni in human pathology. ii. -- laboratory diagnosis and epidemiological features (author's transl)].	c. jejuni is a newly recognized enteropathogenic bacteria. we expose different aspects of the direct and indirect diagnosis. the reservoirs of campylobacter are reviewed. an epidemiologic scheme is proposed. the pathogenic mechanism are discussed.	1981	7015260
chronic excretion of enteropathogenic bacteria in the faeces--a possible association with allergy to cow's milk.	two children with protracted gastrointestinal symptoms were found to be chronically excreting enteropathogenic bacteria in their faeces. withdrawal of cows' milk protein from their diets resulted in clinical recovery and stool cultures became negative, suggesting that allergy to cows' milk may have contributed to their bacterial carrier state.	1981	7016366
evaluation of transport and storage techniques for isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from turkey cecal specimens.	immediate culturing of fecal specimens is not always possible, and appropriate methods for transport and storage of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni specimens have not been fully evaluated. using nine techniques, we studied the survival of c. fetus subsp. jejuni in cecal specimens from infected turkeys. the organisms survived in specimens held without transport medium for 3 to 15 days (median, 9 days) at 4 degrees c, and 2 to 9 days (median, 4 days) at 25 degrees c. only 20% of specimens frozen ...	1981	7016895
experimental infection of rhesus monkeys with a human strain of campylobacter jejuni.	young rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) were infected orally with a human strain of campylobacter jejuni. the disease induced was mild, with inappetence and diarrhoea of short duration, but prolonged intermittent excretion of the bacteria in the faeces occurred. bacteraemia was generally present for 2--3 days and later the organisms localized in the liver and gall bladder. recovered animals, when challenged with the same strain, showed no clinical symptoms, no bacteraemia, and excreted the organis ...	1981	7016990
