| campylobacter biotyping scheme of epidemiological value. | a biotyping scheme has been developed which utilises 12 tests, including growth at 28 degrees c, hippurate hydrolysis, and 10 resistotyping tests. these tests are arranged in groups of three, and by assigning a numerical value to each positive test a four figure code is produced for each strain. the order of the tests is such that campylobacters are both speciated and biotyped . this scheme recognises campylobacter jejuni, c coli, "c laridis ," c fetus fetus, and c fetus subspecies venerealis. t ... | 1984 | 6373839 |
| [campylobacter jejuni: an important causative agent of food infection in man. an overview]. | since a few years, campylobacter jejuni has been identified as an important cause of acute enteritis in man. various studies showed that campylobacter enteritis is as common as salmonellosis, and that the symptoms often are even more severe. that this species of bacterium was not discovered until recently, was due in part to the fact that unusual methods of isolation are required; for instance, campylobacter jejuni will only grow in a micro-aerophilic atmosphere. campylobacteriosis was found to ... | 1984 | 6377580 |
| the importance of campylobacter jejuni to the meat industry: a review. | campylobacter jejuni is a microorganism that only recently has been implicated in gastroenteritis in humans. as appropriate methods used for detection of the bacterium have been developed, the rates of illness caused by the pathogen were found to approach or surpass those attributed to salmonella. substantial evidence has been gathered to document that the route for human infection is through the ingestion of adulterated food and drink. some slaughter animals harbor this potential pathogen among ... | 1984 | 6378869 |

| detection of campylobacter by immunofluorescence in stools and rectal biopsies of patients with diarrhoea. | rabbit antiserum, elicited by the intravenous injection of a strain of campylobacter jejuni heated to 100 degrees c, cross reacted strongly with all other thermophilic campylobacters tested as well as with "c pyloridis" and could be detected by indirect fluorescence with labelled anti-rabbit serum. antisera to formalin killed cells did not do so. the correlation of positive stool culture with positive immunofluorescence of stools and rectal biopsies from patients with diarrhoea was 70-80%. some ... | 1984 | 6381550 |
| exacerbation of b27 positive spondyloarthropathy by enteric infections. | two patients developed reactive arthritis after enteritis secondary to campylobacter jejuni and salmonella group b, respectively. each patient had an established spondyloarthropathy and was hla-b27 positive. while enteric pathogens are widely reported to cause reactive arthritis, these patients illustrate that exacerbations of arthritic syndromes may also be precipitated. our findings support the concept that abnormalities of bowel flora may affect the course of b27 associated arthropathies | 1984 | 6607996 |
| guillain-barré syndrome and campylobacter jejuni: a serological study. | the association between campylobacter jejuni infection and guillain-barré syndrome was investigated serologically in a retrospective study of 56 patients admitted to this hospital over four years. evidence of preceding c jejuni infection was found in 21 (38%) of these patients, indicating that c jejuni was the most common single identifiable pathogen precipitating the disease. among those patients who had presented with preceding diarrhoea the serum antibody response was similar to that in uncom ... | 1984 | 6428580 |

| comparative in vitro activities of twelve antimicrobial agents against campylobacter species. | the in vitro susceptibility of 27 campylobacter jejuni, 31 campylobacter coli, and 30 campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus strains to 12 antimicrobial agents was determined. ciprofloxacin, a new quinoline derivative, was the most active agent tested. antimicrobial susceptibility differed among the three species tested. | 1985 | 3873216 |
| campylobacter enteritis and bloody stools in the neonate. | within 72 hours of birth three babies had loose stools containing fresh blood, mucus, and campylobacter jejuni/coli. campylobacter enteritis should be considered in newborn babies passing blood per rectum. | 1985 | 3874603 |
| prevalence of campylobacter jejuni in felidae in baton rouge, louisiana. | a prevalence study revealed campylobacter jejuni in rectal swabs of 1% of a sample of 430 domestic cats and from one species of 15 zoo felines which were examined. there was no correlation between age, presence of diarrhea, source of sample (animal shelter, veterinary clinic, domestic pet) and the isolation of c. jejuni. a controlled exposure trial confirmed that fecal shedders can transmit infection to susceptible contacts which subsequently demonstrate transient diarrhea. infected cats show a ... | 1985 | 3877024 |
| clinical and laboratory features of yersinia, campylobacter and salmonella infections in children. | clinical and laboratory findings of 78 paediatric patients with infections due to enteroinvasive bacteria were analysed. the material included 33 cases of yersinia enterocolitica, 21 of campylobacter jejuni, 21 of salmonella and 2 of shigella infection, reflecting the current order of frequency ot these enteropathogens in finnish paediatric population. diarrhoea was the presenting symptom in 73% of the cases with yersinia, 90% with campylobacter and 100% with salmonella. conversely, abdominal pa ... | 1985 | 3883048 |
| isolation, characterization, and serotyping of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli from slaughter cattle. | a total of 525 specimens from 100 slaughter beef cattle were examined for the presence of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli by direct plating and enrichment techniques. isolates were identified by cultural, biochemical, antibiotic sensitivity, and immunofluorescence tests and further characterized with the aid of recently developed biotyping and serotyping methods. fifty animals were positive for c. jejuni; only one was positive for c. coli. the distribution pattern of c. jejuni-positi ... | 1985 | 3888109 |
| [epidemiology and clinical aspects of campylobacter enteritis in childhood]. | stool specimens of 478 children with enteritic symptoms were screened for enteropathogenic bacteria over a 5-month period. 28 cases of infection due to campylobacter jejuni were found. the incidence of campylobacter enteritis exceeded that of salmonella and shigella infections recorded over the same period (17 and 11 cases, respectively). infected children-aged between 2 months and 15 1/2 years-presented with symptoms of mild gastroenteritis. 18 patients had bloody diarrhoea, whilst 4 children a ... | 1985 | 3890373 |
| [occurrence of campylobacter jejuni in animals and its significance for the human]. | the frequency of human infections caused by campylobacter (c.) jejuni is thought to be at present as significant as that of infections with salmonella. the epidemiology of human infections with c. jejuni is not well understood, although numerous species of animals are an important reservoir for this microorganism. in an overview the occurrence of c. jejuni at different domestic animals and pets is described. there is also given a report about possible direct and indirect ways for the infections ... | 1985 | 3895567 |
| [campylobacter jejuni infections in children]. | in a two-year-study, the primary feces of all children with gastroenteritis or acute abdominal symptoms were checked for the presence of campylobacter jejuni (c. j.) even when there was no diarrhea. c. j. could be isolated 19 times from among 974 fecal samples. the most frequent admission diagnosis after gastroenteritis was the suspicion of appendicitis. in the forefront of the clinical picture was abdominal pain, which radiated into the right lower abdomen especially in children of school age, ... | 1985 | 3895753 |
| occurrence of campylobacter jejuni and giardia species in muskrat (ondatra zibethica). | a total of 189 muskrat fecal samples were surveyed for campylobacter and giardia species. campylobacter jejuni was recovered from 47.5% of these samples, and giardia species were detected in 82.5%. these findings indicate that muskrat may be of importance to the health both of humans and of domestic animals. | 1985 | 3896141 |
| the occurrence and significance of campylobacter jejuni in man and animals. | campylobacter jejuni, which is now recognized as a discrete species, is a gram negative, microaerophilic, thermophilic, nalidixic acid sensitive, hippurate positive pathogen requiring special selective media for propogation. the organism is widely distributed in avian species, experimental and companion animals and in humans. mammalian campylobacteriosis is characterized by an enterocolitis of variable severity. the prevalence of the condition is relatively high in young individuals, in underdev ... | 1985 | 3898555 |
| pathogenic properties of campylobacter jejuni: assay and correlation with clinical manifestations. | the pathogenic properties of 20 strains of campylobacter jejuni isolated from persons with clearly defined clinical manifestations were determined. cell-free broth filtrates were examined for (i) enterotoxin production by chinese hamster tissue culture assay and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) employing gm1 ganglioside and affinity-purified antiserum to escherichia coli heat-labile toxin, (ii) cytotoxin production by vero and hela cell tissue culture lines, and (iii) their ability t ... | 1985 | 3899937 |
| comparison of four hippurate hydrolysis methods for identification of thermophilic campylobacter spp. | the test for hippurate hydrolysis is critical for separation of campylobacter jejuni and c. coli strains. glycine and benzoic acid are formed when hippurate is hydrolyzed by c. jejuni. the test used in most laboratories is one of several variations of the ninhydrin tube test described by hwang and ederer (m. hwang and g. m. ederer, j. clin. microbiol. 1:114-115, 1975) for detection of glycine. we evaluated three modifications of the hwang and ederer method and the gas-liquid chromatographic (glc ... | 1985 | 3902875 |
| acute childhood diarrhoea in naples: an aetiologic study. | a potential aetiologic agent was detected in the stools of 56% of 118 children hospitalized in naples for acute diarrhoea. rotavirus and salmonella were the agents most commonly associated with disease, accounting for 23 and 17 percent of cases, respectively. campylobacter jejuni, enterotoxigenic escherichia coli, yersinia and shigella were less frequently isolated (total, 11% of cases). these findings fit well with the epidemiological picture described for other developed countries, except for ... | 1985 | 3906366 |
| the impact of routine isolation techniques for campylobacter jejuni in stool cultures. | campylobacter jejuni is recognized as a leading cause of bacterial diarrhea. we studied the impact of performing routine isolation techniques for c jejuni in stool cultures in a community hospital. since instituting such techniques, we have found c jejuni to be the leading cause of bacterial diarrhea at our hospital. clinical and laboratory manifestations and treatment did not distinguish patients with c jejuni from patients with salmonella species isolated from the stool. we believe that microb ... | 1985 | 3906909 |

| etiology of acute infectious diarrhea in a highly industrialized area of switzerland. | during an 18-mo period between 1981 and 1982, a prospective study was conducted in 119 adult patients with acute diarrhea. a diarrhea-inducing microorganism or toxin could be identified in 38.7% of the patients. salmonella sp and campylobacter jejuni were the leading agents that caused diarrheal illness in 25% of the investigated population. clostridium difficile was found in 6%, mainly after previous antibiotic therapy. rotavirus was rarely isolated and enterotoxigenic escherichia coli were not ... | 1985 | 3964774 |
| lipopolysaccharide characteristics of pathogenic campylobacters. | most campylobacter jejuni strains are sensitive and most campylobacter fetus strains are resistant to the bactericidal activity in normal human serum. we purified lipopolysaccharides from campylobacter strains to determine whether their composition and structure relate to serum susceptibility. the lipopolysaccharide of two serum-sensitive strains was best isolated by the galanos procedure, but for two serum-resistant strains a cold-ethanol extraction was optimal. for each lipopolysaccharide prep ... | 1985 | 3967920 |
| in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid analysis, and serotyping of epidemic-associated campylobacter jejuni. | campylobacter jejuni strains from 11 outbreaks were characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid profile, and serotyping by the methods of lior et al. and penner and hennessy. all 31 strains were susceptible to erythromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, tobramycin, streptomycin, and gentamicin. a total of 21 strains from nine outbreaks were resistant to one or more of the following antimicrobial agents: tetracycline, metronidazole, ampicillin, or carbenicillin. of the 31 st ... | 1985 | 3968203 |
| susceptibility of campylobacter isolates to the bactericidal activity of human serum. | although campylobacter jejuni and related thermophilic organisms are more common human pathogens than are campylobacter fetus, most bloodstream or systemic isolates are c. fetus. to understand the pathophysiology related to this observation, the authors studied susceptibility to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum of campylobacter coli, c. jejuni, and c. fetus isolates from feces and blood. in standardized assays, 10 of 15 c. jejuni and related isolates showed 90% kill (mean, 90.6% + ... | 1985 | 3968449 |
| campylobacter jejuni-specific serum antibodies are elevated in healthy bangladeshi children. | in bangladesh and other developing countries, isolation of campylobacter jejuni is common in healthy children, and the illness/infection ratio falls with age. to determine whether specific serum antibodies correlate with this phenomenon, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we studied sera from 93 healthy bangladeshi children and 121 healthy u.s. children under 15 years of age. for each age group (less than 1, 2 to 4, and 5 to 14 years) studied, specific serum antibody levels were signifi ... | 1985 | 3972984 |
| illness associated with campylobacter laridis, a newly recognized campylobacter species. | campylobacter laridis, a recently described thermophilic campylobacter species found principally in seagulls, has not previously been linked to illness in humans. six clinical isolates of this species were referred to the national campylobacter reference laboratory in 1982 and 1983. each isolate was confirmed by biochemical characterization and by dna relatedness studies. the six isolates were obtained during an illness: enteritis in four, severe crampy abdominal pain in one, and terminal bacter ... | 1985 | 3972989 |
| comparison of basal media for culturing campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | four strains of campylobacter jejuni and four strains of campylobacter coli were used to compare the quantitative growth of campylobacter cells on blood agar base no. 2 (oxoid), brucella agar (bbl microbiology systems and difco laboratories), campylobacter agar base (difco), columbia blood agar base (difco and oxoid), and mueller-hinton agar (difco and oxoid). columbia blood agar base and blood agar base no. 2 were inhibitory to most of the strains tested, as evidenced by reduced (10- to 1,000-f ... | 1985 | 3972990 |
| the virulence of clinical and environmental isolates of campylobacter jejuni. | the virulence of campylobacter jejuni and c. coli isolated from various water sources was compared with that of clinical strains by in vitro assays of adhesion, invasion and cytotoxicity to hela cells. variation in degree of attachment was observed, but this did not appear to be related to strain source, however, water strains were less invasive and less cytotoxic to hela cells than clinical strains as shown by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. these differences were particularly evide ... | 1985 | 3973380 |
| a one-year survey of campylobacter enteritis and other forms of bacterial diarrhoea in hong kong. | the following enteropathogens were isolated from the faeces of 769 (10.2%) of 7,545 patients of whom 5,704 had diarrhoea or abdominal pain, attending a teaching hospital in hong kong during one year: salmonellae 458 (6.1%); vibrio parahaemolyticus 125 (1.7%); campylobacters 108 (1.4%); shigellae 83 (1.1%); others 19 (0.3%). further identification of the campylobacter isolates showed that 63 (58%) were campylobacter jejuni biotype 1, 44 (41%) were c. coli and only one was c. jejuni biotype 2. sev ... | 1985 | 3973381 |
