serological studies in two outbreaks of campylobacter jejuni infection.	two outbreaks of campylobacter enteritis in residential student populations are described. in the first outbreak, 34 of 240 students in one hall of residence became ill over the course of 4 or 5 days. a single serotype of c. jejuni was isolated from sample of faeces. sera collected demonstrated that the students had little pre-existing antibody and antibody responses were demonstrated in those who were infected. about 30% of students with serological evidence for infection with c. jejuni did not ...	1981	6895231
isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp jejuni from zoo animals.	over a 1-year period, 619 fecal specimens from animals at the denver zoo were cultured for campylobacter fetus subsp jejuni. the organism was isolated from 35 animals, including 12 primates, 2 felids, a red panda, 13 hooved animals, 6 birds, and 1 reptile. of 44 cultured fecal specimens from diarrheal animals, 31.8% were positive for campylobacter, whereas only 5.6% of 575 specimens from animals without diarrhea were positive (p less than 0.001). among 25 isolates tested, 12 serotypes were repre ...	1981	6799468
in vitro susceptibility of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni to n-formimidoyl thienamycin, rosaramicin, cefoperazone, and other antimicrobial agents.	the activities of 11 antimicrobial agents against 36 strains of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were studied by a broth microdilution method. all strains were susceptible to 7 of the 11 antimicrobial agents. of the newer agents tested n-formimidoyl thienamycin (mk0787) and rosaramicin had very good activity, whereas cefotaxime, moxalactam, and cefoperazone had poorer activity.	1981	6459767
prepartum changes of plasma concentrations of prostaglandin f and 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin metabolites in pregnant animals exposed to sarcocystis cruzi or campylobacter fetus.	pregnant cows at 4- to 5-months' of gestation were exposed to sarcocystis cruzi or campylobacter fetus. plasma prostaglandin f (pgf) and 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin metabolite (pgm) concentrations were determined at intervals from before exposure until abortion or parturition. the plasma pgf concentration of pregnant infected cattle remained at 0.02 +/- 0.04 ng/ml until 24 to 48 hours before abortion or parturition when it increased 5-fold to 0.11 +/- 0.12 ng/ml. the plasma pgm concentrat ...	1981	6784618

milk-borne campylobacter infection.	the common factor in 13 recent outbreaks of campylobacter jejuni enteritis was the consumption of unpasteurised or incompletely pasteurised milk. c jejuni is a common commensal in the alimentary tract of milking cows, but it is not clear how the milk becomes contaminated with the organism. pasteurisation will readily eliminate the organism from milk. in england and wales 3% of milk retailed is still unpasteurised, and in the light of these findings it is suggested that only pasteurised milk shou ...	1981	6786504

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
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
experimental campylobacter diarrhea in chickens.	an animal model for campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni enteritis was developed in 3-day-old chickens. diarrhea was induced in 88% (22 of 25) of chickens inoculated with 9 x 10(7) bacteria given orally. the mean incubation time was 45 h (range, 24 to 72 h). considerable weight loss was observed in the experimental group compared with the control group. ninety bacteria was the minimal infective dose capable of inducing diarrhea in 90% of the chickens. overall mortality was 32% (8 of 25). light micr ...	1981	7298187

long-term infections with campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni.	seventy-three apparently healthy, rural south african schoolchildren 6 to 8 or 13 to 16 years of age were examined five times over a 16-month period for fecal pathogens. nine were positive for campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. the organism was isolated intermittently from six children for at least 9 months and from three children for more than 1 year. five of the long-term infections occurred among the 46 children aged 6 to 8 years (10.9%) versus one long-term infection among the 27 children ag ...	1981	7240397
campylobacter enterocolitis.	we report four patients with bloody diarrhea and colitis from campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni. two patients had dogs with campylobacter fetus in their stools. all patients responded rapidly and completely to erythromycin therapy. campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni is now a relatively common cause of enterocolitis, more common than salmonella or shigella. when the organism causes short-lived water diarrhea, a definitive diagnosis is not necessary. in a patient with bloody diarrhea and ac ...	1981	7240691
arthritis associated with campylobacter jejuni enteritis.	among 342 patients with infection due to campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni, 8 cases (2.3%) of arthritis were found. three patients had monoarthritis and 5 oligoor polyarthritis. the arthritis began 4 days - 4 weeks after the onset of diarrhoea; this interval and the synovial fluid findings suggest that the arthritis was reactive. the histocompatibility antigen hla-b 27 was identified in 5 of the 7 patients tested.	1981	7244582
