| inhibition of campylobacter coli and campylobacter jejuni by antibiotics used in selective growth media. | the ability of campylobacter coli and campylobacter jejuni to grow in the presence of antibiotics used in selective growth media was compared. mic data for c. coli indicated that some strains were more susceptible to the antibiotics than were the c. jejuni strains tested. a reduction of greater than 1 log cycle in the numbers of cells growing on plates containing antibiotics was considered to be a marked level of inhibition. only one of nine of the antibiotic combinations studied did not markedl ... | 1985 | 4077962 |
| comparison of gauze swabs and membrane filters for isolation of campylobacter spp. from surface water. | the epidemiology of campylobacter jejuni indicates that waterborne transmission is important; the organism has been isolated from seawater, fresh water, and estuarine sites. membrane filtration, with and without use of an enrichment broth, has been the most common method for isolating c. jejuni from water. we evaluated two methods for isolating c. jejuni from water: membrane filtration and gauze filtration. the membrane filters evaluated included 0.22- and 0.45-micron-pore millipore filters (mil ... | 1985 | 4073894 |
| investigations on the role of flagella in the colonization of infant mice with campylobacter jejuni and attachment of campylobacter jejuni to human epithelial cell lines. | the biochemical and biological properties of the flagella of campylobacter jejuni have been investigated using two variants selected from a flagellate, motile clinical isolate (strain 81116): a flagellate, non-motile variant (sf-1) and an aflagellate variant (sf-2). phenotypic and biochemical analysis of the strains and amino acid analysis of the isolated flagella suggest that the variants differed from the wild-type strain only in the absence of flagella and/or motility. the aflagellate variant ... | 1985 | 4067286 |
| reversible expression of flagella in campylobacter jejuni. | campylobacter jejuni 81116 and a3249 undergo a bidirectional transition between flagellated (fla+) and aflagellated (fla-) phenotypes. when measured in culture medium, the fla+----fla- transition occurred at a rate of 3.1 x 10(-3) to 5.9 x 10(-3) per cell per generation, and the fla- to fla+ transition occurred at a rate of 4.0 x 10(-7) to 8.0 x 10(-7) per cell per generation. however, passage through a rabbit intestine markedly favored the fla+ phenotype. | 1985 | 4066041 |
| comparison of methods for isolating campylobacter jejuni from raw milk. | the method of doyle and roman (appl. environ. microbiol. 43:1343-1353, 1982) was compared with that of lovett et al. (appl. environ. microbiol. 46:459-462, 1983) for the ability to recover campylobacter jejuni strains inoculated into raw milk at a concentration of less than 1 cell per g. the method of lovett et al. gave significantly greater recovery proportions. | 1985 | 4051491 |
| occurrence of plasmids and antibiotic resistance among campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli isolated from healthy and diarrheic animals. | serologically defined strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli from healthy and diarrheic animals were examined for the occurrence of plasmid dna in association with the antibiotic susceptibility of the bacterial host and the health status of the animal host. of all campylobacter organisms surveyed, 53% (116 of 200) contained plasmid dna. a plasmid occurrence rate of 73.8% was obtained for c. coli from healthy pigs, contrasted by lower plasmid occurrence rates for c. coli from diar ... | 1985 | 4044793 |
| campylobacter fetus peritonitis followed by septicaemia in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. | a 62-year-old man being treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd) developed peritonitis due to campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus (intestinalis), an organism seldom isolated in such circumstances. after appropriate and apparently effective antibiotic therapy, the patient relapsed 6 weeks later with septicaemia. blood cultures yielded a similar organism, thereby suggesting a clinically silent metastatic infection during the episode of peritonitis, probably at an old arterioven ... | 1985 | 4031516 |

| campylobacter colitis: histological immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings. | the colonic biopsy specimens of 22 patients with colitis and positive stool cultures for campylobacter jejuni were studied in order to obtain histological and immunohistochemical criteria to differentiate campylobacter colitis from chronic inflammatory bowel disease. in addition we tried to identify campylobacter inclusions by means of immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy as evidence for invasion of the colonic mucosa. the results show that the majority of patients with campylobacter col ... | 1985 | 4029720 |
| campylobacter and endovascular lesions. | because of the gaps in our knowledge of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of campylobacter infections, particularly the propensity of campylobacter fetus ssp fetus to infect vascular endothelium, the authors describe the case of a 56-year-old woman with c. fetus ssp fetus infection of an aortic aneurysm. she recovered after a one-stage surgical repair and antibiotic therapy with erythromycin. the organism was cultured from samples of the stool and tissue obtained at operation. it was identified ... | 1985 | 4027795 |
| enrichment medium for isolation of campylobacter jejuni-campylobacter coli. | a broth enrichment medium for the improvement of isolation of campylobacter jejuni-campylobacter coli from stool samples and other specimens is presented. of 1,228 samples examined in parallel, positive results were obtained from 81 by direct inoculation of selective media and from 112 after enrichment. thus, an increase of 27.7% in the isolation rate was obtained by using the enrichment medium. the same medium without antibiotics allows the preservation of isolates of c. jejuni-c. coli for at l ... | 1985 | 4026287 |
| biotypes and serotypes of thermophilic campylobacters isolated from cattle, sheep and pig offal and other red meats. | in this study we examined 730 faecal samples of offal (mainly liver), mince-meat and sausage meat collected from abattoirs and retail butchers' shops for campylobacters. campylobacter jejuni or c. coli were isolated from 30.6, 10.5 and 6% of sheep, cattle and pig offal samples respectively. specimens collected from abattoirs were, in general, more often contaminated than material obtained from retail butchers' shops. only 1.4% of minced meats and sausage meats contained campylobacters. most isol ... | 1985 | 4020105 |
| development of a bacteriophage typing system for campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | a bacteriophage typing system for campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli was developed with phages isolated from poultry feces. data for phage selection were generated from a set of isolates of c. jejuni and c. coli from humans in illinois. selection of 14 phages from the 47 phages available was assisted by determination of the sneath-jaccard similarity coefficients and subsequent unweighted pair-group arithmetic averaging cluster analysis. the typing set was reproducible and stable in the ... | 1985 | 4019737 |
| serotyping of campylobacter jejuni, campylobacter coli, and campylobacter laridis from domestic and wild animals. | by using 50 unabsorbed antisera, we were able to serotype 272 (65.7%) of 414 thermotolerant campylobacters from wild and domestic animals, on the basis of heat-stable antigens identified by means of passive hemagglutination. forty-two serotypes were recognized. the pattern of serotypes detected in the various animal species was compared to human clinical isolates by using the czekanowski index (proportional similarity index). the highest degree of similarity to the clinical isolates was observed ... | 1985 | 4015088 |
| laboratory infection of chicken eggs with campylobacter jejuni by using temperature or pressure differentials. | fertile chicken eggs were infected in our laboratory with campylobacter jejuni suspensions by using temperature or pressure differential methods of inoculation. after 2 days of incubation, over 90% of the eggs carried c. jejuni when iron was present in the inoculum. this percentage declined rapidly until by day 8, less than 10% of the eggs were detectably infected. however, up to 11% of hatched, healthy chicks carried c. jejuni in their intestinal tracts. the isolated organisms were of the same ... | 1985 | 4015086 |

| infected aortic aneurysms. | salmonella organisms have been responsible for half of the reported cases of infected aortic aneurysms, although other bacteria have been incriminated. this is the second reported case in which campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus apparently infected an inflammatory aortic aneurysm. in this 70-year-old man the organism was isolated and treated prior to resection of the aneurysm and inline grafting. specific antibiotic therapy was continued for 8 weeks postoperatively. examination and ct scans ob ... | 1985 | 4009843 |
| biochemical and genetic characteristics of atypical campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus strains isolated from humans in the united states. | during a 2-year period, 14 biochemically atypical campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus-like strains were received by the campylobacter reference laboratory at the centers for disease control. sources of the isolates were blood, nine strains; stools, two strains; amniotic fluid, one strain; and abscesses, two strains. atypical phenotypic characteristics exhibited by one or more strains were growth at 42 degrees c, 10 strains; no h2s by lead acetate paper, 3 strains; resistance to a 30-micrograms ceph ... | 1985 | 4008624 |
| [digestive complications of campylobacter enteritis]. | fifty children with acute diarrhoea, in which the only germ found in stools was campylobacter fetus jejuni, are studied. digestive complications occurred are discussed. nine (18%) had lactose malabsorption, associated in two (4%) with saccharose malabsorption and in one (2%) with cow's milk protein intolerance. all complications were temporary, and carbohydrate malabsorption disappeared between one and three months. | 1985 | 4003954 |
| campylobacter jejuni infections on college campuses: a national survey. | we surveyed 303 colleges and universities to determine the frequency of isolations of campylobacter jejuni and other enteric bacterial pathogens. campylobacter cultures could be obtained at 74 per cent; 10 per cent of stool cultures yielded campylobacter, which was isolated 10 and 46 times more frequently than salmonella and shigella, respectively. the incidence of diagnosed campylobacter infections was 1.3 per 10,000 enrolled students per month. intercollegiate variation was not explained by di ... | 1985 | 4003634 |
| typing of heat-stable and heat-labile antigens of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli by coagglutination. | a coagglutination system has been devised for typing heat-stable and heat-labile antigens of campylobacter jejuni and c. coli. the use of protein a-positive staphylococcus aureus cells carrying campylobacter sp. serotype antibody and the treatment of campylobacter sp. cells with dnase in the antigen suspension permitted rapid and specific coagglutination of rough (autoagglutinable) as well as smooth cultures. cells of s. aureus were sensitized with campylobacter sp. serotype antisera. four to fi ... | 1985 | 3998098 |
| [isolation of campylobacter spp. from calves in bulgaria]. | studied were a total of 58 samples, containing intestinal content of calves that had died of enteritis as well as fecal samples and samples from clinically normal calves. campylobacter spp. were isolated in 8.8 per cent of the cases. the isolated 5 strains was determined as campylobacter fetus subsp. intestinalis. this is the first communication on the isolation of campylobacter spp. in this country. | 1985 | 3992922 |
| evidence of udder excretion of campylobacter jejuni as the cause of milk-borne campylobacter outbreak. | we describe a community outbreak of campylobacter enteritis associated with the consumption of untreated milk, apparently contaminated by two cows with campylobacter mastitis. the outbreak occurred in two phases. strains of campylobacter jejuni of the penner serogroup complex 4, 13, 16, 50 and preston biotype code 6100 were isolated from patients in both episodes and from the faeces of the cattle, milk filters, bulk milk and retail milk. milk samples from two of 40 milking cows were found to con ... | 1985 | 3989284 |
| phagocytosis of campylobacter jejuni and its intracellular survival in mononuclear phagocytes. | in vitro phagocytosis and intracellular survival of campylobacter jejuni strain 2964 in mononuclear phagocytes were studied. the following three types of mononuclear phagocytes were used: a j774g8 peritoneal macrophage line derived from balb/c mice, resident balb/c peritoneal macrophages, and human peripheral blood monocytes. when c. jejuni and mononuclear phagocytes were combined at a ratio of 75:1, light microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, and electron microscopy all indicated that c. jejuni c ... | 1985 | 3988342 |
| use of auxotyping for epidemiological studies of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli infections. | a chemically defined medium developed for neisseria gonorrhoeae was modified to support the growth of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. a total of 76 isolates of c. jejuni and 14 isolates of c. coli were tested on this medium, which was designated campylobacter defined medium (cdm), over a 3-month period. although none of the c. coli isolates appeared to require amino acids, 51% of the c. jejuni tested required one and 7% required multiple amino acids for growth. an analysis of isolat ... | 1985 | 3988340 |
| campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus bacteremia. | eight patients with campylobacter fetus bacteremia, six of them with serious underlying diseases, were seen in a two-year period. besides fever, which was observed in all cases, the most frequent clinical manifestation was lower extremity phlebitis and cellulitis (four patients). in one of these patients, it had the peculiar aspect of bilateral pretibial cellulitis. one patient had vertebral osteomyelitis, a complication, to our knowledge, not yet described. two patients, both with advanced unde ... | 1985 | 3977489 |
| enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies to campylobacter fetus in bovine vaginal mucus. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was used to detect antibodies to campylobacter fetus subspecies venerealis in bovine vaginal mucus. the results of testing 168 samples from experimentally infected, field cases and control cows showed that the elisa was more sensitive than the vaginal mucus agglutination test and also detected antibodies in earlier stages of infection. | 1985 | 3975480 |
| the virulence of clinical and environmental isolates of campylobacter jejuni. | the virulence of campylobacter jejuni and c. coli isolated from various water sources was compared with that of clinical strains by in vitro assays of adhesion, invasion and cytotoxicity to hela cells. variation in degree of attachment was observed, but this did not appear to be related to strain source, however, water strains were less invasive and less cytotoxic to hela cells than clinical strains as shown by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. these differences were particularly evide ... | 1985 | 3973380 |
| isolation of campylobacter fetus from a pet turtle. | during the course of a salmonella agona case investigation, campylobacter fetus was isolated from a pet turtle. this is the first reported isolation of c. fetus from a turtle and suggests that turtles, in addition to being reservoirs for salmonella species, may also be reservoirs for c. fetus. | 1985 | 3972996 |
| comparison of basal media for culturing campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | four strains of campylobacter jejuni and four strains of campylobacter coli were used to compare the quantitative growth of campylobacter cells on blood agar base no. 2 (oxoid), brucella agar (bbl microbiology systems and difco laboratories), campylobacter agar base (difco), columbia blood agar base (difco and oxoid), and mueller-hinton agar (difco and oxoid). columbia blood agar base and blood agar base no. 2 were inhibitory to most of the strains tested, as evidenced by reduced (10- to 1,000-f ... | 1985 | 3972990 |
| campylobacter jejuni-specific serum antibodies are elevated in healthy bangladeshi children. | in bangladesh and other developing countries, isolation of campylobacter jejuni is common in healthy children, and the illness/infection ratio falls with age. to determine whether specific serum antibodies correlate with this phenomenon, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we studied sera from 93 healthy bangladeshi children and 121 healthy u.s. children under 15 years of age. for each age group (less than 1, 2 to 4, and 5 to 14 years) studied, specific serum antibody levels were signifi ... | 1985 | 3972984 |
| susceptibility of campylobacter isolates to the bactericidal activity of human serum. | although campylobacter jejuni and related thermophilic organisms are more common human pathogens than are campylobacter fetus, most bloodstream or systemic isolates are c. fetus. to understand the pathophysiology related to this observation, the authors studied susceptibility to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum of campylobacter coli, c. jejuni, and c. fetus isolates from feces and blood. in standardized assays, 10 of 15 c. jejuni and related isolates showed 90% kill (mean, 90.6% + ... | 1985 | 3968449 |
| in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid analysis, and serotyping of epidemic-associated campylobacter jejuni. | campylobacter jejuni strains from 11 outbreaks were characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid profile, and serotyping by the methods of lior et al. and penner and hennessy. all 31 strains were susceptible to erythromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, tobramycin, streptomycin, and gentamicin. a total of 21 strains from nine outbreaks were resistant to one or more of the following antimicrobial agents: tetracycline, metronidazole, ampicillin, or carbenicillin. of the 31 st ... | 1985 | 3968203 |
| lipopolysaccharide characteristics of pathogenic campylobacters. | most campylobacter jejuni strains are sensitive and most campylobacter fetus strains are resistant to the bactericidal activity in normal human serum. we purified lipopolysaccharides from campylobacter strains to determine whether their composition and structure relate to serum susceptibility. the lipopolysaccharide of two serum-sensitive strains was best isolated by the galanos procedure, but for two serum-resistant strains a cold-ethanol extraction was optimal. for each lipopolysaccharide prep ... | 1985 | 3967920 |
| campylobacter jejuni septicemia--epidemiology, clinical features and outcome. | in 33 cases of campylobacter jejuni septicemia, the disease was more common at the extremes of age: infants made up a third of the reported cases while 24% of patients were older than 50 years. fever was noted in more than 80% of patients and chills in about a fourth. enteritis was present in 70% of cases, and the gastrointestinal tract was the principal source of septicemia. half of the patients did not have significant underlying disease but were at extremes of age, which may reflect relative ... | 1986 | 3962297 |
