| 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 |
| primary isolation of campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni. | primary isolation of campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni following selective filtration can be achieved equally well on a columbia agar supplemented with sheep blood (5%), horse blood (5-10%), or heat-treated horse blood (chocolate agar). larger, but not more, colonies were formed at 42c. however, the higher temperature inhibits c. fetus ss. intestinalis. reduced oxygen tension (5%) was advantageous for cultures on media supplemented with sheep blood. all other media tested did equally well as long a ... | 1982 | 7044123 |
| 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 |
