| in vitro susceptibility of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli isolated in denmark to fourteen antimicrobial agents. | the in vitro susceptibility of 95 recent danish human clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli to 14 antimicrobial agents was determined by an agar dilution technique. c. jejuni and c. coli were considered together. doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, clindamycin, nitrofurantoin and erythromycin were the most active drugs. 2% of the strains tested were resistant to erythromycin (mic greater than 3.1 micrograms/ml). therefore susceptibility testing is suggested if anti ... | 1987 | 3630712 |
| predictive value of stool examination in acute diarrhea. | we prospectively evaluate the value of fecal blood and fecal leukocytes in predicting whether acute diarrhea in adults is associated with a stool culture positive for a bacterial pathogen. one hundred thirteen patients, aged 19 to 50 years, seen in a two-year period in an urban adult outpatient setting underwent stool culture for the presenting symptom of diarrhea. heterosexual men represented 48% of the cohort, women represented 17%, and homosexual men represented 35%. overall, 53 (47%) of the ... | 1987 | 3632285 |
| evaluation of gamma radiation levels for reducing pathogenic bacteria and fungi in animal sewage and laboratory effluents. | sewage samples collected from animal wastes and from effluents at an animal disease laboratory were inoculated with known numbers of pathogenic organisms and subjected to various doses of gamma radiation from a 60co source. surviving test organisms were quantitatively determined by selective and enrichment techniques. the experiment was modeled as a quantal assay in which probit analysis was applied to obtain d10 values. the d10 value represents the irradiating dose required to reduce the popula ... | 1987 | 3651881 |
| production of a unique cytotoxin by campylobacter jejuni. | campylobacter jejuni is an important diarrheal pathogen worldwide; the mechanisms by which it causes disease remain unclear. because of its association with inflammatory diarrhea, we postulated that c. jejuni might produce a cytotoxin similar to that produced by shigella sp., enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli o157, or clostridium difficile. filtrates of 12 polymyxin-treated isolates of c. jejuni were placed on hela cells (sensitive to shiga toxin cytotoxicity) and chinese hamster ovary (cho) ce ... | 1987 | 3653987 |
| naturally occurring auxotrophs of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | the nutritional requirements for 439 campylobacter jejuni isolates and 46 campylobacter coli isolates were determined by using a previously described chemically defined medium, campylobacter defined medium. with this medium, 45% of both human and nonhuman c. jejuni isolates demonstrated auxotrophic requirements. none of the 46 c. coli isolates studied demonstrated requirements for amino acids on campylobacter defined medium. the most common auxotrophic requirement among c. jejuni isolates was fo ... | 1987 | 3654939 |
| rapid identification of campylobacter pylori (c. pyloridis) by preformed enzymes. | campylobacter pylori (c. pyloridis) is a fastidious organism found in the gastric mucosa associated with histological gastritis and peptic ulceration. a rapid identification scheme that detects the presence of preformed enzymes (rosco diagnostica, taastrup, denmark) was applied to clinical isolates of c. pylori. the isolates tested were a very homogeneous group. they all produced oxidase, catalase, urease, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, and dnase. no ... | 1987 | 3654941 |
| prevalence and characterization of hippurate-negative campylobacter jejuni in king county, washington. | a total of 593 strains of thermophilic campylobacter species were isolated either from humans with diarrhea or from poultry in king county, washington. of these strains, 98 (52 hippurate-positive strains and all 46 of the hippurate-negative strains) were selected for further phenotypic characterization and genetic classification. hippurate hydrolysis, the test typically used to differentiate campylobacter jejuni and c. coli, did not always correlate with the genetic classification. all hippurate ... | 1987 | 3654945 |
| rapid and improved gas-liquid chromatography technique for detection of hippurate hydrolysis by campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | a gas-liquid chromatographic method which requires no chloroform extraction of the split products has been investigated for the detection of hippurate hydrolysis by campylobacter spp. this technique gave better reproducibility than other tests also used in this study and allows the routine use of the gas-liquid chromatographic method for identification of campylobacter isolates. | 1987 | 3654950 |
| problems in identification of campylobacter jejuni associated with acquisition of resistance to nalidixic acid. | in a patient with campylobacteriosis, we observed development of resistance to nalidixic acid and norfloxacin under adequate treatment with the latter antibiotic. isolates before and after treatment differed in their total protein profile but were otherwise identical with respect to enzymatic activity, serotype, crude membrane protein profiles, and other phenotypic characteristics. | 1987 | 3654954 |

| approaches to the detection of enteric pathogens, including campylobacter, using nucleic acid hybridization. | a previous study of the detection of campylobacter jejuni in fecal samples spotted directly onto nitrocellulose filters before hybridization revealed a relatively low sensitivity and some false-positive results. we have investigated two factors that interfere with the detection of campylobacter jejuni in fecal samples: interfering substances that create false-positive background signals and nonspecificity of the probe. heterologous deoxyribonucleic acid probes bound nonspecifically to partially ... | 1986 | 3698541 |
| detection of pathogenic campylobacter species in blood culture systems. | because differences in recognition of campylobacter fetus and campylobacter jejuni in systemic infections may be due partially to differences in the ability to cultivate these organisms, we studied their growth characteristics in two widely used blood culture systems. in the roche septi-chek system (hoffman-la roche, inc., nutley, n.j.), over a broad range of inocula all strains were detected in broth within 2 days and on paddles within 3 days. in the bactec 6b aerobic bottles (johnston laborato ... | 1986 | 3700626 |
| the protection of infant mice from colonization with campylobacter jejuni by vaccination of the dams. | intraperitoneal vaccination of female mice, before mating, with a whole cell, heat-killed (62 degrees c) vaccine of campylobacter jejuni allowed the mother to confer immunity to her young, challenged orally 4-6 days after birth with the homologous strain. there was no protection against a strain of another serotype. heating the vaccine to 100 degrees c destroyed its protective properties. a vaccine prepared from an aflagellate variant of the original strain was as protective as the original vacc ... | 1986 | 3701036 |
| campylobacter jejuni in broilers: the role of vertical transmission. | the role of broiler eggs in the transmission of campylobacter jejuni to broiler grow-out flocks was investigated. six breeder flocks supplying broiler eggs to hatcheries were examined for cloacal carriage of c. jejuni. of 240 birds tested, 178 (74%) were c. jejuni-positive. eggs from these birds examined for c. jejuni penetration of the egg shell indicated that 185 of 187 were campylobacter-free. eggs from breeder flocks of unknown c. jejuni status were also examined for c. jejuni shell penetrat ... | 1986 | 3701037 |
