morphological differences in flagella in campylobacter fetus subsp. intestinalis and c. fetus subsp. jejuni.intact flagella were isolated from human pathogenic strains of campylobacter, c. fetus subsp. intestinalis and c. fetus subsp. jejuni, by the method of depamphilis and adler and examined by electron microscopy. the isolated flagella were composed of a filament, a hook, a basal body, and a large disk associated with the end of the hook region covering the basal body. the width of the hook was approximately 28 nm, somewhat greater than that of the filament (20 nm in diameter). the hook region of c ...19836645983
effect of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium pyruvate on survival of campylobacter jejuni.a combination of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite and sodium pyruvate, incorporated in solid medium, maintained the characteristic morphology, motility, and viability of six isolates of campylobacter jejuni stored at room temperature and 4 degrees c for up to 20 and 30 days, respectively, under normal atmospheric conditions.19836630476
campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus in homosexual males.campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus was isolated from the stools of two homosexual males. one was asymptomatic at the time of isolation. the other presented with diarrhea. both isolates were initially grown at 42 degrees c. this organism should be included among the list of organisms that are found in homosexual males.19836630480
demonstration of a cytotoxin from campylobacter jejuni.a 48-hour culture filtrate of campylobacter jejuni was found to produce cytopathic effects on three human cell lines--that is, hela, mrc-5 and hep-2. the cytopathic effects observed include cell rounding, loss of adherence and cell death after 24-48 h of incubation. such morphological changes were observed with eight of the eleven strains of campylobacter jejuni isolated from the blood/stools of patients who suffered from either acute gastroenteritis or septicaemia. the toxic factor did not reta ...19836630575
prevalence of campylobacter jejuni in two california chicken processing plants.two federally inspected california chicken processing plants participated in campylobacter jejuni prevalence studies. twelve sampling sites were included in each of four groups. groups were based on bird age, scald water temperature, and plant sampled. scald water temperatures of 60 degrees c (140 degrees f) did not contribute to a lower prevalence of c. jejuni in edible parts, as did temperatures of 53 degrees c (127 degrees f) and 49 degrees c (120 degrees f). the feather picker and chilling t ...19836830212
house flies (musca domestica) as possible vectors of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni.a total of 161 strains of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were isolated from house flies (musca domestica). the carrier rates detected were 50.7% in flies captured on a chicken farm and 43.2% in flies from a piggery. the relative prevalences of campylobacter coli, c. jejuni, and nalidixic acid-resistant thermophilic campylobacters were 90.1, 6.2, and 3.7%, respectively. the results indicate that flies may play a linking role in the epidemiology of campylobacter infection in humans by transmitt ...19836830213
experimental campylobacter jejuni infection of adult mice.ha-icr adult mice were studied to develop an animal model for campylobacter jejuni enteritis in humans. fecal and ileal cultures made by selective and nonselective methods showed that c. jejuni and related organisms are not bowel commensals. intragastric feeding of 10(8) cfu of three different strains of c. jejuni produced infection in 100% of the animals, and infection rates were dose dependent. pretreatment with antibiotics or opiates was not necessary to induce infection. fresh isolates and s ...19836832823
culture supernatants of campylobacter jejuni induce a secretory response in jejunal segments of adult rats.culture supernatants of four campylobacter jejuni strains induced a net sodium secretory flux (plasma-lumen) and an impaired glucose transport in perfused jejunal segments of adult rats in vivo.19836832835
isolation of plasmids encoding tetracycline resistance from campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from simians.fifteen isolates of tetracycline-resistant campylobacter jejuni were recovered from stool samples of cynomologous monkeys (macaca fascicularis) housed at the university of washington primate research center, seattle. resistance was associated with carriage of a 38-megadalton plasmid which was transmissible to other strains of c. jejuni but not to escherichia coli. seven isolates also contained a 2.6-megadalton plasmid which was phenotypically cryptic.19836838189
[campylobacter fetus bacteremia].five cases of campylobacter fetus bacteremia are reported. this germ, found in blood cultures, induces high fever and is accompanied by either gastroenteritis with colitis or thrombophlebitis. other, but much rarer septic sites are the meninges and endocardium. patients already debilitated by chronic disease are more susceptible to bacteremia with campylobacter fetus, which worsens the prognosis of the infection. although non-debilitated patients can contract this infection, the prognosis here i ...19836836251
