| biphasic culture system for rapid campylobacter cultivation. | we developed a biphasic culture system consisting of 4 ml of brucella agar (ba) and 6 ml of brucella broth (bb) in 25-cm2 tissue culture flasks, which were incubated in air (bb/baa) or in a gas mixture of 5% o2, 10% co2, and 85% n2 (bb/bag). these media were also used with a supplement consisting of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium pyruvate and incubated as above (fb/faa and fb/fag, respectively). highly satisfactory growth of campylobacter jejuni 301 was obtained with all mediu ... | 1983 | 6401980 |
| a study of the oxygen and carbon dioxide requirements of thermophilic campylobacters. | the oxygen and carbon dioxide requirements of different biotypes of thermophilic campylobacters were investigated by means of (a) quantitative studies, and (b) total growth studies. oxygen tolerance of the five test organisms differed markedly and varied with the carbon dioxide concentration. at most carbon dioxide concentrations tested, campylobacter jejuni strains nctc 11168 and nctc 11392 tolerated 21% oxygen (growth reduced), c coli nctc 11353 tolerated 15% oxygen (growth reduced), and c jej ... | 1983 | 6408142 |
| diarrhea associated with rotaviruses, enterotoxigenic escherichia coli, campylobacter, and other agents in costa rican children, 1976-1981. | rotaviruses, enterotoxigenic escherichia coli, salmonella, shigella, and parasites were investigated in outpatient diarrheic children, and in hospitalized diarrheic and non-diarrheic children, between january 1976 and june 1979. in outpatient cases studied within 4 days of onset of symptoms, rotaviruses were the most common agents (45.3%); e. coli heat-stable enterotoxin ranked second (13.4%); shigella was third (8.1%); salmonella was fourth (7.3%). in 63.2%, one or more enteric agents were dete ... | 1983 | 6337517 |
| avian wildlife reservoir of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, yersinia spp., and salmonella spp. in norway. | cloacal swabs from 540 wild-living birds were cultured for campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, yersinia spp., and salmonella spp. the carrier rates detected were as follows: c. fetus subsp. jejuni, 28.4%; yersinia spp., 1.2%; and salmonella spp., 0.8%. all birds were apparently healthy when captured. c. fetus subsp. jejuni was isolated from 11 of the 40 bird species examined. among birds inhabiting the city of oslo, the highest isolation rate was found in crows (corvus corone cornix) (89.8%), fol ... | 1983 | 6338824 |
| serogroups of campylobacter jejuni, campylobacter coli, and campylobacter fetus defined by direct immunofluorescence. | rabbits were inoculated with whole, formalinized campylobacter jejuni, c. coli, and c. fetus cells; the c. jejuni and c. coli immunogens were identified by their dna relatedness at the species level to the type strains of c. jejuni or c. coli. the designation c. coli was not used among the other c. jejuni strains; they were classified as hippurate-positive or hippurate-negative c. jejuni. immunoglobulin g was isolated from the antisera and labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate. these conjugate ... | 1983 | 6341405 |
| an acid extract as a common antigen in campylobacter coli and campylobacter jejuni strains. | an acid extract prepared from a single strain of campylobacter jejuni reacted with rabbit antisera against 21 strains of c. jejuni and campylobacter coli. the immunogen is resistant to formalin and to exposure to 100 degrees c for 30 min. the antigenic extract may have practical applications in human serology. | 1983 | 6343426 |
| [campylobacter infection in children]. | enteritis by campylobacter jejuni/coli is by far the most frequent clinical entity of campylobacter-infection. it may be compared to salmonella-enteritis as for its epidemiologic importance. the course of the disease may be dramatic, but can be successfully treated as soon as the pathogen is known. in prematures and newborn babies infections with campylobacter fetus ssp. fetus are life-threatening and early diagnosis is of life-saving importance. five observations of campylobacter-enteritis in c ... | 1983 | 6352463 |
| isolation of campylobacter jejuni from an appendix. | campylobacter jejuni skirrow biotype 1, lior serotype 8 was isolated from the appendix of an 11-year-old boy who had a 6-h history of acute abdominal pain. histological diagnosis on the appendix section was early acute appendicitis. dilute carbol fuchsin stain and indirect fluorescent antibody test performed on the appendix section also revealed the presence of campylobacter sp. the patient developed a significant bactericidal antibody titer of 1,024, providing substantial clinical evidence of t ... | 1983 | 6352736 |
| evaluation of transport media for campylobacter jejuni in human fecal specimens. | it is not always possible to culture feces immediately, and appropriate methods for transport of human specimens, unlike those from animals, have not been fully evaluated. therefore, we took serial subcultures in two phases from six transport media inoculated with human diarrheal stools known to be positive for campylobacter jejuni. in phase 1, cary-blair medium and buffered glycerol saline did not preserve c. jejuni as well as did alkaline peptone-water (apw), modified cary-blair medium, thiogl ... | 1983 | 6355160 |
| detection of campylobacter fetus in artificial insemination bulls with a transport enrichment medium. | one hundred and five bulls from an artificial insemination unit were tested for the presence of campylobacter fetus subspecies venerealis. the method involved the inoculation of preputial samples into a new transport enrichment medium prior to culture and immunofluorescence tests. seventeen bulls (16%) were found to be either positive or suspected carriers of c. fetus at one or more sampling times. the average age of these 17 bulls was about two years greater than the average age of all the bull ... | 1983 | 6357410 |

| correlation of an expanded direct fluorescent-antibody system with an established passive hemagglutination system for serogrouping strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | rabbits were inoculated with whole, formalinized cells from eight passive hemagglutination reference strains of campylobacter. fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled immunoglobulin g from these antisera defined seven new direct fluorescent-antibody serogroups of c. jejuni and one new serogroup of c. coli. this expanded the campylobacter direct fluorescent antibody system to include 17 serogroups of c. jejuni, 3 serogroups of c. coli, and 2 serogroups of c. fetus. we then compared the passive hemaggl ... | 1983 | 6358249 |
| evaluation of filters for recovery of campylobacter jejuni from water. | campylobacter jejuni has been incriminated in several large waterborne outbreaks, but it has rarely been isolated from water itself. better methodology is needed for the isolation of c. jejuni from water. we evaluated three types of 0.45-micron microporous filters and three different pore sizes of positively charged depth filters for their ability to recover c. jejuni from seeded, sterile tap and surface water. the microporous filters tested were millipore ha, gelman gn6, and zetapor. three pore ... | 1983 | 6360048 |
| is enrichment culture necessary for the isolation of campylobacter jejuni from faeces? | the role of enrichment culture for the isolation of campylobacter jejuni from faeces is discussed. it is concluded that enrichment culture is only necessary for those specimens where it is anticipated that the number of organisms is likely to be low. in a trial of a blood free enrichment broth (ccd broth) and the modified preston enrichment broth the latter gave significantly superior results. | 1983 | 6361073 |
| enteropathogen carriage by healthy individuals living in an area with poor sanitation. | faecal carriage of bacterial enteropathogens (enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec), shigellae and salmonellae) was studied in 265 individuals: 65 infants 3-6 months of age (50 bottle-fed and 15 breast-fed), 100 school-age children 8-10 years of age and 100 adults 21-50 years of age. all were apparently healthy, did not have gastrointestinal symptoms, had not received antibiotics in the preceding fortnight and were not malnourished. enteropathogens were isolated from the faeces of 24 individu ... | 1983 | 6363528 |
| 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 |

| prevalence of campylobacter jejuni in two california chicken processing plants. | two federally inspected california chicken processing plants participated in campylobacter jejuni prevalence studies. twelve sampling sites were included in each of four groups. groups were based on bird age, scald water temperature, and plant sampled. scald water temperatures of 60 degrees c (140 degrees f) did not contribute to a lower prevalence of c. jejuni in edible parts, as did temperatures of 53 degrees c (127 degrees f) and 49 degrees c (120 degrees f). the feather picker and chilling t ... | 1983 | 6830212 |
| house flies (musca domestica) as possible vectors of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. | a total of 161 strains of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were isolated from house flies (musca domestica). the carrier rates detected were 50.7% in flies captured on a chicken farm and 43.2% in flies from a piggery. the relative prevalences of campylobacter coli, c. jejuni, and nalidixic acid-resistant thermophilic campylobacters were 90.1, 6.2, and 3.7%, respectively. the results indicate that flies may play a linking role in the epidemiology of campylobacter infection in humans by transmitt ... | 1983 | 6830213 |
| experimental campylobacter jejuni infection of adult mice. | ha-icr adult mice were studied to develop an animal model for campylobacter jejuni enteritis in humans. fecal and ileal cultures made by selective and nonselective methods showed that c. jejuni and related organisms are not bowel commensals. intragastric feeding of 10(8) cfu of three different strains of c. jejuni produced infection in 100% of the animals, and infection rates were dose dependent. pretreatment with antibiotics or opiates was not necessary to induce infection. fresh isolates and s ... | 1983 | 6832823 |
| culture supernatants of campylobacter jejuni induce a secretory response in jejunal segments of adult rats. | culture supernatants of four campylobacter jejuni strains induced a net sodium secretory flux (plasma-lumen) and an impaired glucose transport in perfused jejunal segments of adult rats in vivo. | 1983 | 6832835 |

| [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 |
| an immunopathologic study of the bovine prepuce. | the prepuces of 83 bulls with macroscopically normal reproductive tracts were obtained at slaughter and microbiological, immunological, and histologic studies were done and the findings were correlated. some bulls had been vaccinated on several occasions against campylobacter fetus. mean concentrations of intrapreputial immunoglobulins (ig) in 27 bulls were igg1 - 1.8 +/- 5.2; iga - 0.16 +/- 0.15; and igm - 0.24 +/- 0.24 mg/ml. high concentrations of igg2 in some bulls precluded precise estimati ... | 1983 | 6836875 |
| production of enteritis in calves by the oral inoculation of pure cultures of campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis. | pure cultures of an isolate of campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis obtained from the congested small intestinal mucosa of a two-week-old calf were used to infect three milk-fed calves and three ruminating calves in two separate controlled experiments. inoculated animals all developed clinical signs which included fever (to 40 degrees c) and diarrhoea with excess clear mucus containing occasional spots of blood. c fetus subspecies intestinalis was isolated from the faeces of all infected ... | 1983 | 6836883 |
| 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 |

| selective enrichment broth medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni. | a new selective campylobacter enrichment broth for the isolation of campylobacter jejuni has been tested with fecal specimens of human, poultry, and bovine origin. we compared the isolation rate with that from the simultaneous direct plating of a duplicate specimen. of the 380 duplicate specimens examined comparatively, we obtained a 46.3% increase in isolation of c. jejuni by using the new campylobacter enrichment broth medium. | 1983 | 6863504 |
| acute hepatitis associated with campylobacter colitis. | a patient with proven campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni acute colitis developed hepatocellular dysfunction, which paralleled the course of the colitis. liver biopsy showed nonspecific reactive hepatitis. other causes of acute hepatocellular damage were excluded. the patient made a complete recovery. | 1983 | 6863882 |
| campylobacter enteritis in normal and immunodeficient children. | campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni (cbj) has been recently recognized as a common pathogen in bacterial gastroenteritis in children. during a period of 16 months, 51 cases of c fetus subspecies jejuni gastroenteritis were diagnosed. five of the children in whom the cases were diagnosed were previously known to be immunodeficient: two had x-linked agammaglobulinemia, one had agammaglobulinemia, one had combined immunodeficiency, and one had transient hypogammaglobulinemia. average duration of ... | 1983 | 6869333 |
| ferret as a potential reservoir for human campylobacteriosis. | a survey was conducted to determine the frequency of campylobacter fetus subsp jejuni in feces of ferrets purchased for use in biomedical research. over a 12-month period, 168 ferrets from 2 commercial breeders were examined by bacteriologic cultural procedures for campylobacter spp; 61% were culturally positive for c fetus subsp jejuni. in a therapeutic trial with 16 ferrets shedding c fetus subsp jejuni in feces, erythromycin given orally failed to eliminate intestinal carriage of the organism ... | 1983 | 6870007 |
| susceptibility of clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni to sixteen antimicrobial agents. | the activities of 16 antimicrobial agents against 103 clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni were tested. all the strains were susceptible to kanamycin and gentamicin. chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, and clindamycin were active against most of the strains. more than one-third of the strains were resistant to the tetracyclines and 12.5% were resistant to erythromycin. | 1983 | 6870228 |
| serum antibodies in campylobacter enteritis. | a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay method for the measurement of total and class-specific serum antibodies to campylobacter jejuni was developed. the test was found to be both sensitive and specific. immunoglobulin m, g, and a antibodies were detected in about 90% of sera collected from patients recovering from campylobacter enteritis, with the pattern of appearance and decline of these antibodies conforming to that usually seen in an acute infection. a poor antibody response was noted in patients ... | 1983 | 6885981 |
| campylobacter jejuni as a bacterial cause of diarrhoea in ile-ife, nigeria. | a total of 495 diarrhoea and non-diarrhoea patients whose ages ranged between 5 and 39 years were examined for the presence of campylobacter jejuni, salmonella and shigella species. about 12% of the specimens from diarrhoea patients were positive for campylobacter jejuni compared with 6% and 10% for salmonella and shigella species. in contrast 2%, 0% and 1% of the samples from non-diarrhoea patients were positive for campylobacter jejuni, salmonella and shigella species respectively. most (62%) ... | 1983 | 6886413 |
| the microbial evaluation of acute cellulitis. | twenty consecutive patients with acute cellulitis were studied by retrospective chart review. patients with suffusion and edema, with or without vesicles, were included. patients with breaks in the skin, with focal suppurations or with concurrent antimicrobial therapy were excluded. in nineteen of the twenty patients, aspirates (95 percent) failed to grow organisms. pasteurella multocida was grown from subcutaneous aspirate and blood cultures of a single patient; he was immunocompromised by wald ... | 1983 | 6602690 |
| hla-b27-negative arthritis related to campylobacter jejuni enteritis in three children and two adults. | five out of 37 patients with proven campylobacter jejuni enteritis developed arthritis. two adult patients presented with classical reiter's syndrome. one of the three children had reactive arthritis, and clinical suspicion of septic arthritis could not be confirmed in two. the acute synovitis subsided usually without treatment in all patients within 3-7 days, while arthralgia persisted longer in 4 patients. hla-b27 was not present in the 5 patients with arthritis, but was found in 4 others. in ... | 1983 | 6605028 |
| a case of a double infection with salmonella typhi and campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni. | a case of a double infection with salmonella typhi and campylobacter subspecies jejuni proven by isolation and serology is reported. the patient was effectively treated with erythromycin and chloramphenicol. | 1983 | 6612785 |
| campylobacter-induced toxic megacolon. | a case of a compromised host with myeloproliferative syndrome who presented with severe, relentless but nonbloody diarrhea, fever, severe colitis, and toxic megacolon is presented. blood cultures grew out campylobacter fetus ssp. fetus. specific treatment with erythromycin reversed the grave clinical picture to normal in a 5-day period. | 1983 | 6613968 |
