| abortion in the dog due to campylobacter species. | campylobacter jejuni was isolated from a wheaten terrier bitch which had aborted (in southern idaho). a campylobacter of undetermined species also was isolated from aborted poodle pups (in central washington). it appears that persons may have been the source of infection in the idaho event, but the source for the other was not speculated. these findings of perinatal death due to campylobacter in dogs from widely separated areas indicate that pathologic evaluation of cases involving premature and ... | 1984 | 6711985 |
| association of campylobacter jejuni with laying hens and eggs. | laying hens were individually caged at 20 weeks of age and tested for fecal excretion of campylobacter jejuni (minimum level of detection was 100 cfu/g) during a 42-week period. peak rates of c. jejuni isolation (approximately 25% of hens positive) occurred at two different times, in october and in late april to early may. before being segregated in late september, birds were allowed to consume fecal matter, litter, and communal drinking water, all likely sources of c. jejuni. the increased excr ... | 1984 | 6712220 |
| jejunal infection with campylobacter. | a patient had common variable immunodeficiency, chronic malabsorption, and campylobacter jejuni infection. infection was diagnosed by jejunal aspiration. a follow-up jejunal aspirate was culture positive at the same time that a stool culture was negative. infection resulted in worsening of chronic diarrhea, but it was not associated with clinical features of colitis or proctitis. the duration of infection was prolonged and initial antimicrobial therapy was ineffective. single drug therapy with e ... | 1984 | 6712398 |
| hemolytic uremic syndrome after campylobacter-induced diarrhea in an adult. | campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni is a recognized pathogen of the gastrointestinal (gi) tract resulting in a spectrum of illness from mild gastroenteritis to severe colitis with bloody diarrhea. campylobacter is also being recognized as capable of producing systemic illness. furthermore, antibody response, hypocomplementemia, and bacteremia with enterotoxic organisms have been described. many of the clinical features, both local (le, in the gi tract) and systemic, parallel those of shigella. ... | 1984 | 6712399 |
| human serum antibody response to campylobacter jejuni infection as measured in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was adapted to measure immunoglobulin a (iga), igg, and igm classes of human serum antibody to campylobacter jejuni. sera were tested from healthy controls, from ill persons at various intervals after exposure to an epidemiologically implicated vehicle for campylobacter sp. enteritis, from persons exposed to these same vehicles who remained well, and from persons who chronically drank raw milk. the major antigens in the c. jejuni acid-washed antigen preparati ... | 1984 | 6715034 |
| comparative efficacy of liquid enrichment medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni. | isolation of campylobacter jejuni from 1,249 human fecal specimens by direct inoculation on selective columbia agar and liquid enrichment medium was compared. the use of liquid enrichment medium provided a 30% higher isolation rate of c. jejuni. the overall isolation rate achieved by using direct plating and enrichment together was 8.2%. | 1984 | 6715514 |

| campylobacter jejuni associated diarrhea in commercially reared beagles. | campylobacter jejuni was isolated from nine of ten (90%) juvenile beagles with diarrhea, compared with an isolation rate of five of eight (63%) from beagles which remained asymptomatic during the 2 month study. in four dogs, the diarrhea was recurrent and characterized by watery, mucoid, bile-streaked feces with occasional blood. elevated temperature and leukocytosis were noted in three of these dogs. two dogs with diarrhea also had giardia canis trophozoites. | 1984 | 6727288 |
| comparative in vitro activity of ciprofloxacin against campylobacter spp. and other bacterial enteric pathogens. | a comparison was made of the in vitro activity of ciprofloxacin (bay o 9867) with nine other antibiotics against isolates of campylobacter jejuni, salmonella spp., shigella spp., yersinia enterocolitica, clostridium difficile, vibrio spp., and escherichia coli. minimum inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin were the lowest of any compound tested for all organisms except c. difficile. | 1984 | 6732220 |
| campylobacter jejuni infections in haifa subdistrict, israel, summer 1981. | a study investigating the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of campylobacter jejuni infections in an urban community in israel is presented. most of the information was obtained by interviewing 76 patients who constituted a systematic sample out of a total of 215 patients suffering from acute campylobacter jejuni diarrhoea during the summer of 1981. the crude annual incidence rate was 17 per 10 000. age-specific incidence rate in infants up to one year of age was eight times higher th ... | 1984 | 6735568 |
| a study of the spread of campylobacter jejuni in four large kitchens. | campylobacters were sought in swabs taken from work surfaces, sinks and floors of four kitchens-i.e. hospital, university, cook-freeze and commercial, processing frozen or fresh chickens. each kitchen was visited on four occasions. in the large commercial kitchen environmental contamination was found on each visit, whereas campylobacters were isolated on six of the twelve visits to the other kitchens. the hands of operatives were contaminated with campylobacters on only two of the 45 swabs taken ... | 1984 | 6736643 |
| campylobacter enterocolitis in a neonatal nursery. | during a five-day period, four neonates in a neonatal nursery developed campylobacter entercolitis. investigations suggested that cross-infection or common-source infection were unlikely and that the neonates acquired their infection during delivery from their respective mothers, three of whom were also found to harbour campylobacter jejuni in their stools. this suggestion was confirmed with use of the lior serotyping system in a blind fashion. each neonate was infected with a different serotype ... | 1984 | 6736679 |

| properties of crude campylobacter jejuni heat-labile enterotoxin. | the amount of crude campylobacter jejuni enterotoxin present in culture products was quantitated by comparing the response of these preparations with that of pure escherichia coli heat-labile toxin (lt) in the chinese hamster ovary assay and in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays that used gm ganglioside or antisera to lt or both. maximum c. jejuni enterotoxin production was achieved by growth at 42 degrees c for 24 h under agitation in supplemented gc medium. adding polymyxin separately to eithe ... | 1984 | 6746090 |
| dna relatedness among strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli with divergent serogroup and hippurate reactions. | eleven strains of campylobacter from earlier fluorescent-antibody studies were examined by dna hybridization to determine their species. three of the strains hydrolyzed sodium hippurate, and eight did not. four of the hippurate-negative strains were in campylobacter jejuni serogroups, and the remaining strains were in both c. jejuni and campylobacter coli serogroups. dna relatedness to type strains of c. jejuni and c. coli indicated that all three of the hippurate-positive strains and two of the ... | 1984 | 6746886 |
| systematic investigation of enrichment media for wild-type campylobacter jejuni strains. | of the media examined, thioglycolate broth supplemented with 5% lysed sheep blood, butzler antibiotic mixture, and 0.1% lauryl sulfate was the most sensitive enrichment medium for recovery of wild-type strains of campylobacter jejuni from cecal contents of chickens and chicken livers. it allowed the retrieval of 1 cfu as did solid media but permitted the screening of 50-times larger volumes. double-strength enrichment medium required 5 to 10 cfu for growth. omission of lauryl sulfate reduced the ... | 1984 | 6746890 |
| antibiotic sensitivity patterns of campylobacter jejuni/coli isolated from laboratory animals and pets. | fifty-four strains of campylobacter jejuni/coli isolated from a variety of species of laboratory animals as well as pet dogs were tested by an agar dilution technique for susceptibility to each of 12 antimicrobial agents. gentamicin and furazolidone were the most active of the drugs examined. the strains tested frequently were sensitive to two other aminoglycoside antibiotics, neomycin and kanamycin. erythromycin also was effective at levels achievable in serum except in three strains which were ... | 1984 | 6748605 |
| [campylobacter jejuni gastroenteritis]. | acute gastroenteritis is a major cause of hospital admission with attendant morbidity and occasional mortality. campylobacter jejuni recently has been recognized as a common cause of acute bacterial gastroenteritis in children and adults. its frequency of isolation is comparable to and in many studies exceeds that of salmonella isolations from diarrheal stools of hospitalized patients. medical workers in many parts of the world confirmed that campylobacter jejuni was found more commonly in feces ... | 1984 | 6748977 |
| comparison of selective media for isolation of campylobacter jejuni/coli. | a comparison of skirrow's, butzler's, blaser's, campy-bap and preston media for campylobacter spp was made using human, animal and environmental specimens. butzler's medium gave the lowest isolation rate and preston medium, which was the most selective, the highest isolation rate. enrichment culture using preston enrichment broth gave a higher isolation rate than direct plating onto preston medium. | 1983 | 6822680 |

| [campylobacter fetus bacteremia]. | five cases of campylobacter fetus bacteremia are reported. this germ, found in blood cultures, induces high fever and is accompanied by either gastroenteritis with colitis or thrombophlebitis. other, but much rarer septic sites are the meninges and endocardium. patients already debilitated by chronic disease are more susceptible to bacteremia with campylobacter fetus, which worsens the prognosis of the infection. although non-debilitated patients can contract this infection, the prognosis here i ... | 1983 | 6836251 |
| human campylobacter infection associated with certified raw milk. | between may 27 and june 18, 1981, 50 individuals in 30 households in suburban atlanta, georgia, had a gastrointestinal illness caused by campylobacter jejuni. epidemiologic evidence strongly associated consumption of unpasteurized milk with illness. a culture survey confirmed fecal carriage of c. jejuni by cows in the implicated dairy and in a control dairy, but failed to document presence of the organism in the milk. the standard plate counts and leukocyte counts (two indicators of microbiologi ... | 1983 | 6837559 |
| campylobacter hyointestinalis (new species) isolated from swine with lesions of proliferative ileitis. | intestines from 48 swine with enteric disease were examined by bacteriologic cultural technique for the presence of various campylobacter species. histopathologic techniques were used to determine whether the submitted specimens had lesions of either swine proliferative ileitis or other enteric diseases. three species of campylobacter were identified as campylobacter jejuni/coli, campylobacter sputorum ss mucosalis, and campylobacter hyointestinalis (proposed new species) on the basis of biochem ... | 1983 | 6838031 |
| isolation of plasmids encoding tetracycline resistance from campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from simians. | fifteen isolates of tetracycline-resistant campylobacter jejuni were recovered from stool samples of cynomologous monkeys (macaca fascicularis) housed at the university of washington primate research center, seattle. resistance was associated with carriage of a 38-megadalton plasmid which was transmissible to other strains of c. jejuni but not to escherichia coli. seven isolates also contained a 2.6-megadalton plasmid which was phenotypically cryptic. | 1983 | 6838189 |
| occurrence of plasmid dna in serologically defined strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | forty campylobacter jejuni and 17 campylobacter coli strains that constitute the set of reference strains for our serotyping scheme were each examined for the presence of plasmid dna. agarose gel electrophoresis of alkaline-extracted dna showed the occurrence of 29 bands in 11 c. jejuni strains and 40 bands in c. coli strains. plasmids ranged in size from 1.6 to 70 megadaltons. most strains that carried plasmids had between 2 and 6 of them; however, one strain had 14 plasmids, and two strains co ... | 1983 | 6840847 |
| serologic study of two clusters of infection due to campylobacter jejuni. | the serologic responses to campylobacter jejuni in persons involved in two clusters of infection and in control subjects were studied. in the first cluster, in which previously unexposed persons drank raw milk, the attack rate was high and elevated complement-fixing (cf) and specific igg and igm antibodies were demonstrated. in the second cluster, involving farmers who chronically drank raw milk, the attack rate was low, but titers of cf and igg antibodies were high in both affected and unaffect ... | 1983 | 6842019 |
