| [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 |

| comparison of enrichment methods and atmosphere modification procedures for isolating campylobacter jejuni from foods. | a comparison was made of enrichment broths for recovery of campylobacter jejuni from food by the methods of doyle and roman (appl. environ. microbiol. 43:1343-1353) and of park et al. (can. j. microbiol. 27:841-842). no significant differences were found between the results obtained with the two broths. recovery was greater, however, with a constant gas flow into the broths than with an evacuation-replacement method. | 1984 | 6393876 |
| can erythema nodosum and reactive arthritis be a sequel to shigella flexneri gastroenteritis? | erythema nodosum and seronegative arthritis associated with diarrhoea was previously regarded as implying the presence of inflammatory bowel disease. recently, however, erythema nodosum has been described as a sequel to diarrhoea caused by infection with salmonella typhimurium, yersinia enterocolitica and campylobacter jejuni. we report two patients in whom erythema nodosum and reactive arthritis followed acute shigella flexneri gastroenteritis, a rare association. | 1984 | 6398514 |
| 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 |
| recent advances in management of bacterial diarrhea. | the number of recognized infectious causes of diarrhea potentially treatable with specific antibiotics has markedly increased within the past ten years. laboratories are developing and expanding their abilities to deal with these new pathogens. neither prophylaxis nor specific treatment of diarrhea in travelers is simple, practical, and safe. although enterotoxigenic escherichia coli is the most important cause of diarrhea in u.s. travelers to tropical areas, campylobacter jejuni causes acute di ... | 1983 | 6405474 |
