| antimicrobial resistance of campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni strains isolated from humans in 1998 to 2001 in montréal, canada. | the rates of resistance of 51 to 72 human strains of campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni isolated annually from 1998 to 2001 in montréal, québec, canada, varied from 1 to 12% for erythromycin, 43 to 68% for tetracycline, and 10 to 47% for ciprofloxacin. in the last years of the study, there was a significant increase in the rate of resistance to ciprofloxacin (p = 0.00003) but not in the rate of resistance to erythromycin (p = 0.056) or tetracycline (p = 0.095) compared to the rate obtained in th ... | 2003 | 12760892 |
| multilocus sequence typing of campylobacter jejuni isolates from humans, chickens, raw milk, and environmental water in quebec, canada. | molecular strain typing is essential for deciphering the epidemiology of campylobacter jejuni infections. we applied two different methods, multilocus sequence typing (mlst) and analysis of the flaa short variable repeat (svr), to 289 isolates (163 human, 56 chicken, 34 raw milk, and 36 environmental water isolates) collected in the province of québec, canada, over 3 years; in addition, the analysis included the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) typing results for a subset of 131 isolates ... | 2008 | 18701662 |
