| campylobacter fetus (vibrio fetus) infection in dairy herds in south-west scotland. | infertility and abortion caused by campylobacter fetus is described in a series of 12 herds in south west scotland during the period may 1974 to december 1976. herd studies show that 44 bulls were involved and that there were 34 bull and 18 cow movements for breeding purposes. the need to include c fetus infection in the differential diagnosis of herd infertility is emphasised. | 1977 | 595301 |
| bovine venereal campylobacteriosis (vibriosis) in north east scotland. | since january 1978 four outbreaks of bovine venereal campylobacteriosis, associated with campylobacter fetus subspp fetus, have been investigated. the herds demonstrated a variety of presenting signs, and the outbreaks were confirmed by vaginal mucus agglutination tests and isolation of c fetus subspp fetus. a greater recovery of c fetus was achieved by reducing the oxygen tension in the atmosphere used for incubation to a greater extent than usual. bradford's brucella agar was found to be a sui ... | 1979 | 583185 |
| passive transmission of campylobacter fetus by immunised bulls. | two groups of 24 heifers were mated with 3 immunised and 3 susceptible bulls respectively. six heifers in each group were infected artificially with campylobacter fetus sub-sp. fetus biotype venerealis. among susceptible heifers mated with immunised bulls, 13/18 became pregnant and 5/18 yielded evidence of infection with c. fetus. among susceptible heifers mated with susceptible bulls, 7/18 became pregnant and 10/18 yielded evidence of infection. c. fetus was isolated on one occasion from an imm ... | 1978 | 582385 |
| campylobacter fetus sepsis with mycotic aortic aneurysm. | campylobacter fetus is a fastidious, curved, gram-negative bacillus that has been increasingly associated with human disease. to our knowledge, we are reporting the first documented case of c fetus sepsis associated with an aortic mycotic aneurysm. typical of previously reported cases of infections caused by this organism, this case involved a debilitated patient who was seen initially with a subacute febrile illness associated with bacteremia, but who died suddenly when the unsuspected aneurysm ... | 1979 | 581840 |

| campylobacter enteritis associated with unpasteurized milk. | campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni has recently been recognized as a human enteric pathogen. laboratory isolation has been hindered by its fastidious nature. methods for recovery of this organism from stool culture and a specific serologic test are described. an outbreak is reported in which three members of the same family became simultaneously ill with fever, severe abdominal cramps and diarrhea. c. fetus ss. jejuni was recovered from stool specimens from all three. a fourfold increase in serum im ... | 1979 | 573969 |
| campylobacter fetus infection in human subjects: association with raw milk. | within a three week period, four cases of campylobacter fetus infection were identified in a hospital in los angeles county. three of the four patients had drunk large quantities of an identical brand of commercially available certified raw milk. campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni was isolated from the blood of these three patients. the fourth patient, who did not drink raw milk, had campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis isolated from his blood. a telephone survey comparing cases and co ... | 1979 | 571676 |
| central nervous system infection by vibrio fetus. | in a 50-year-old cook, partial motor seizures and signs of dominant hemisphere dysfunction developed after a brief nonspecific febrile illness. pleocytosis was seen in the cerebrospinal fluid and findings on cerebral angiography and isotope brain scan suggested a subdural collection. surgical exploration showed only thickening and inflammation of the dura. cultures of this tissue and of the patient's blood were positive for vibrio fetus, an organism common in sheep and cattle, but seen rarely in ... | 1978 | 567769 |
| the effect of the nitroimidazole drug dimetridazole on microaerophilic campylobacters. | dimetridazole, a nitroimidazole drug reported to act only on obligately anaerobic micro-organisms, is widely used for the prevention and treatment of swine dysentery. forty-four strains of the microaerophilic bacterium campylobacter coli isolated from either healthy or diseased pigs, and a strain of campylobacter fetus, were all sensitive to dimetridazole. the sensitivities (minimal inhibitory concentration less than 10 microng per ml) were similar to those of anaerobic bacteria. dimetridazole i ... | 1977 | 558335 |

| [bacteria of the campylobacter species as cause of enteritis (author's transl)]. | in an eight-year-old boy who had acute gastroenteritis, examination of the faeces with specific isolation technique revealed campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni as the responsible pathogen. this is the first observation in the federal republic of germany of an enteritis caused by campylobacter. | 1979 | 477569 |
| susceptibility of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni to twenty antimicrobiol agents. | one hundred recent clinical isolates of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were tested by an agar dilution technique for susceptibility to each of 20 antimicrobial agents. doxycycline and gentamicin were the most active of the drugs examined, inhibiting all strains at concentrations achievable in serum. although the median minimal inhibitory concentration of erythromycin was low, 8% of the isolates were highly resistant. all isolates of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were relatively resistant ... | 1979 | 475372 |
| comparative efficacy of ten commercial campylobacter fetus vaccines in the pregnant guinea pig: challenge with campylobacter fetus serotype a. | efficacy of ten commercial campylobacter fetus vaccines was tested in pregnant guinea pigs and compared with that of an experimental vaccine prepared from the challenge-exposure strain. if the first lot of vaccine failed to protect 50% of the guinea pigs, one or two additional lots of that vaccine were purchased and retested. three vaccines for cattle, evaluated, as the most effective of those tested, protected 62%, 72%, and 89% of the guinea pigs from abortion; the experimental vaccine protecte ... | 1979 | 475102 |

| campylobacter fetus infections in children. | there has been a gradual accumulation of reported campylobacter fetus human infections since the first description in 1947. the taxonomy of these fastidious and morphologically confusing organisms has been recently revised and, in the past few years, through the use of selective culture medium for stool isolation c fetus has been implicated as a frequent paghogen in children. there are three relatively distinct patterns of human c fetus infection. the first, most frequent, pattern of disease is ... | 1979 | 390487 |
| campylobacter enteritis: clinical and epidemiologic features. | campylobacter fetus subspecies (ssp.) jejuni has been recently recognized to cause diarrheal disease in man. to assess its importance as an enteric pathogen, we prospectively studied 514 patients with diarrhea. campylobacter fetus ssp. jejuni was isolated from the feces of 26 patients (5%) and seven of 11 of their symptomatic household contacts. this organism was isolated from the feces of only one of 18 asymptomatic household contacts and not at all from 157 other healthy persons. seventeen of ... | 1979 | 380433 |

| the isolation and nature of campylobacters (microaerophilic vibrios) from laboratory and wild rodents. | faeces voided by eight species of laboratory or feral rodents were cultured for campylobacters by means of selective methods. campylobacters were isolated from bank voles and from rats, but not from rabbits, laboratory mice, hamsters, guinea-pigs, field mice or field voles. in routine biochemical tests isolates from bank voles resembled a type of campylobacter fetus that causes infectious infertility in cattle; isolates from rats resembled campylobacter coli associated with swine dysentery. elec ... | 1977 | 330861 |
| blastogenic transformation by lipopolysaccharide of blood leukocytes from immunized but not normal cattle. | escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide produced blastogenic transformation in whole-blood leukocytes from heifers that had been infected and immunized with campylobacter fetus, but not in cells from control animals. this suggests that lipopolysaccharide dose not function as a b-cell mitogen in cattle and that its stimulation of cells from immunized animals occurred through another mechanism. | 1977 | 330414 |
| isolation of campylobacter fetus from recent cases of human vibriosis. | campylobacter fetus was isolated from five recent cases of human vibriosis, of which two were adults and three were children. one adult presented with pericarditis and the other with recurrent pyrexia. campylobacter fetus subsp. intestinalis which resembled cattle strains serologically, was isolated under co2 or anaerobic conditions from blood cultures of these patients. two of the three children had kwashiorkor and the third was only 8 days old. isolates identified as campylobacter fetus subsp. ... | 1977 | 270524 |
| susceptibility of campylobacter fetus to twenty-two antimicrobial agents. | in vitro susceptibility of 11 recent clinical isolates of campylobacter fetus to 22 antimicrobial agents was determined by an agar dilution technique. unlike most obligate anaerobic gram-negative bacilli, c. fetus isolates tested were relatively resistant to penicillin and cephalosporins, but exquisitely susceptible to tetracyclines and aminoglycosides. all strains were also inhibited at concentrations achievable in serum by clindamycin, chloramphenicol, metronidazole, carbenicillin, ticarcillin ... | 1978 | 263884 |
| gram-negative bacillary endocarditis. interpretation of the serum bactericial test. | although the serum bactericidal test is commonly used in the management of infective endocarditis, little has been written about its validity or limitations. we report three cases of gram-negative bacillary endocarditis (pseudomonas aeruginosa, vibrio fetus and serratia marcescens) encountered in 1 year at a veterans administration hospital. serum bactericidal titers were considered necessary to identify inadequate antibiotic regimens or to avoid unnecessary drug toxicity. the limitations of the ... | 1975 | 234679 |
| etiology of infantile enteritis in south africa. | infantile enteritis constitutes a major health problem in developing countries. several investigations into the etiology of this condition among various south african populations have been undertaken during the past few years. recent studies of black urban infants have revealed that salmonellae, shigellae, enterotoxigenic enterobacteriaceae, and rotaviruses play a relatively minor role in infantile enteritis. on the other hand, all studies, including a number performed several years ago, have de ... | 1979 | 221438 |
| studies of the microaerophilic nature of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. ii. role of exogenous superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide. | the addition of bovine superoxide dismutase to brucella broth or brucellar agar greatly echanced the oxygen tolerance of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni strain h840 (atcc 29428). catalase also enhanced oxygen tolerance, but to a lesser extent. these enzymes must act externally to the bacteria. all of the diverse compounds which enhance oxygen tolerance of c. fetus, including nor-epinephrine and a combination of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium pyruvate, share the ability to qu ... | 1979 | 218715 |
| influence of seminal additives and packaging systems on fertility of frozen bovine spermatozoa. | the following recommendations and conclusions are based upon results of fertility and laboratory studies, and general trends from field investigations. fertility results due to the addition of enzymes have been variable and contradictory. flushing of ampules with dry, gaseous nitrogen prior to filling has become a routine practice in processing semen to be frozen. for control of vibrio fetus and leptospira pomona, 2,000 micrograms of streptomycin and 1,000 u polymyxin b sulfate should be added p ... | 1978 | 162535 |
| [diagnosis of vibriosis in bulls at breeding stations through lavages of the artificial vagina]. | the objective of the study was to test the suitability of lavages of artificial vaginas which are used for collecting ejaculate for diagnosing the campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus germs. according to the results of the investigation this method may be considered equal to the method of lavages of the prepuce. however, it is important to point out the advantages: it eliminates the danger of an accident, it enables quality lavage in the laboratory. to caputure the campylobacter fetus the filtration ... | 1978 | 96573 |
| campylobacter enteritis associated with canine infection. | campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni has recently been recognised as a human enteric pathogen. five cases of campylobacter enteritis are described. all five patients had abdominal pain and diarrhoea. two of the five patients had bloody diarrhoea and relapses. all the patients had been in contact with young dogs which had had diarrhoea. campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni was isolated from these dogs or from their litter-mates. canine infection with campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni may be an important source ... | 1978 | 82001 |
| superficial antigens of campylobacter (vibrio) fetus: characterization of antiphagocytic component. | a glycoprotein responsible for the antiphagocytic properties of campylobacter fetus has been identified by comparing cells of a wild-type strain with those of a mutant lacking this substance. the antiphagocytic component is demonstrable through electron microscopy as a discrete, negatively charged structure on the periphery of the cell. clt is readily removed from the cell by mild extraction procedures and contributes to the inagglutinability in o antiserum normally displayed by c. fetus. cells ... | 1975 | 46843 |
