| antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and strain type diversity of campylobacter jejuni isolates from turkeys in eastern north carolina. | campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common bacterial causes of human gastroenteritis, and recent findings suggest that turkeys are an important reservoir for this organism. in this study, 80 c. jejuni isolates from eastern north carolina were characterized for resistance to nine antimicrobials, and strain types were determined by fla typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) with smai and kpni, and (for 41 isolates) multilocus sequence typing (mlst). pfge analysis suggested that many o ... | 2009 | 19028914 |
