| heat injury and repair in campylobacter jejuni. | a procedure for detecting and quantitating heat injury in campylobacter jejuni was developed. washed cells of c. jejuni a7455 were heated in potassium phosphate buffer (0.1 m, ph 7.3) at 46 degrees c. samples were plated on brucella agar supplemented with na2s2o3, feso4 x 7h2o, and sodium pyruvate and on a medium containing brilliant green, bile, na2s2o3, feso4 x 7h2o, and sodium pyruvate. colonies were counted after 5 days of incubation at 37 degrees c in an atmosphere containing 5% o2, 10% co2 ... | 1984 | 6497368 |
| use of an ammonia electrode to study bacterial deamination of amino acids with special reference to d-asparagine breakdown by campylobacters. | a method using an ammonia electrode is being developed for investigating the deamination of amino acids and amides by bacteria. application of this method to campylobacter jejuni and c. coli has led to the demonstration of d-asparaginase activity in some strains. this has allowed the subdivision of both species into d-asparaginase-positive and -negative biotypes. even though the method is in the developmental stage, it was found to be generally reproducible and easy to perform. areas for further ... | 1984 | 6501873 |
| epidemiological investigations on campylobacter jejuni in households with a primary infection. | fifty-four rotterdam patients in which a primary infection with campylobacter jejuni had been detected (index patients) were compared with 54 control subjects with regard to the consumption and preparation of foods 7 days before onset of illness and the keeping of pet animals. significantly more index patients than controls had eaten chicken meat (47 v. 29; p = 0.0002), particularly at barbecues (14 v. 2; p = 0.0015). marginally more index patients had eaten pork (47 v. 39; p = 0.048) or inadequ ... | 1984 | 6501878 |
| a search for the source of campylobacter jejuni in milk. | samples of milk from 1501 cows with mastitis were negative for campylobacter jejuni. the faeces of 74 healthy friesian cows were screened for c. jejuni: 13% of the samples were positive during the summer when the cows were on pasture, and 51% were positive in the winter when the cows were housed. positive samples contained on average 1 x 10(4) campylobacters per g faeces. it is concluded that faecal contamination rather than udder infection is the means by which campylobacters enter milk and the ... | 1984 | 6501879 |
| quantitative evaluation of a transport-enrichment medium for campylobacter fetus. | the enrichment feature of a selective serum-based transport medium for campylobacter fetus was quantitatively examined. preputial samples from artificial insemination bulls were spiked with known numbers of c fetus strains and inoculated into transport-enrichment medium (tem). the survival and multiplication of these strains in tem under different incubation periods and temperatures were assessed by plate counts. mean enrichment values of 3.72 log and 4.42 log were observed after incubation at 3 ... | 1984 | 6506432 |
| comparison of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | to determine whether employing antibiograms is useful to separate campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli, we determined the mics of 12 antibiotics for 104 human clinical strains and 74 swine strains. of 74 swine strains, 5 (7%) were hippurate positive, as were 93 (89%) of 104 human strains. the 12 antimicrobial agents tested were ampicillin, amoxicillin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, furazolidone, norfloxacin, nalidixic acid, rosoxacin, rosaramicin, tetracycline, and sch 32063 ... | 1984 | 6508265 |
| improved biotyping schemes for campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | campylobacter jejuni (20 strains) and campylobacter coli (12 strains) were assigned to four biovars for each species based on phenotypic tests that were easy to perform and interpret. the resulting biotyping schemes offer a greater degree of distinction among c. jejuni and c. coli strains than any of the other biotyping schemes previously described for these organisms. | 1984 | 6511880 |
| serotyping and serology studies of campylobacteriosis associated with consumption of raw milk. | a community outbreak of 15 cases of gastroenteritis was traced to consumption of unpasteurized milk produced at one commercial dairy. using two different testing schemes, we found that a campylobacter jejuni isolate from an ill patient and an isolate from a sick cow were the same serotype. bacteriological studies suggested that a single epidemic strain of campylobacter jejuni caused this outbreak. | 1984 | 6511884 |
| antibacterial activities of nitrothiazole against campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | niridazole (ambilhar) and three other newly synthesized nitrothiazole derivatives were highly active against 19 microaerophilic campylobacters (minimum concentration required to inhibit 50% of strains [mic50], 0.0075 to 0.015 mg/liter). there were, however, considerable differences in the susceptibility among strains tested, and one nitrothiazole derivative was rather inactive (mic50, 2 mg/liter). nitroimidazole derivatives, such as metronidazole and tinidazole, were less active (mic50, 2 and 4 ... | 1984 | 6517542 |
| composition of the antigenic material removed from campylobacter jejuni by heat. | the antigenic material removed form campylobacter jejuni by the boiling of whole cells in saline was examined biochemically. analyses showed that the extracted material contained 3 micrograms of protein per ml per mg of wet cells and ca. 2.6 micrograms of carbohydrate per ml per mg of wet cells. further extraction of the material with chloroform-methanol produced about 0.5 microgram of water-insoluble residue per ml per mg of wet cells, suggesting the presence of lipid as well. additional analys ... | 1984 | 6520219 |
| levels of some reproductive diseases in the dairy cattle of colombia. | of 4,144 serum samples collected from cows on 113 farms from eight areas of colombia 3.3% had positive and 8.8% inconclusive titres to brucella abortus, 21.7, 6.3, 1.6, 0.6 and 0.7% of cows had positive titres to leptospira serovars hardjo, pomona, canicola, icterohaemorrhagiae and grippotyphosa respectively. questionnaires completed on 110 farms revealed that 6, 2.5 and 4.6% of cows had had metritis, aborted or retained their placentas respectively in the previous 12 months. trichomonas foetus ... | 1984 | 6523582 |
| [diarrhea caused by campylobacter fetus jejuni and other infective agents in children of the rural area of puriscal, costa rica]. | between september 1979 and september 1981 a field study was conducted on the etiology of diarrheal disease in the area of puriscal, costa rica. the presence of enteric pathogens was investigated in the stools of 267 diarrheic children and 190 healthy controls. both groups belong to yearly cohorts recruited at birth as part of a longitudinal multidisciplinary study of mothers and children. campylobacter fetus jejuni was identified as the only pathogen in the stools of 24 diarrheic children (9%) a ... | 1984 | 6535179 |

| identification and characterization of campylobacter jejuni outer membrane proteins. | outer membrane proteins from isolates of campylobacter jejuni were examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. sarcosinate-insoluble membrane preparations were outer membrane enriched based on increased ketodeoxyoctonate concentrations, the presence of surface-exposed 125i-labeled proteins that were hydrophobic, and similarity to membrane vesicle (bleb) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiles. most isolates contained a single major band with ... | 1983 | 6618667 |
| extended scheme for serotyping campylobacter jejuni: results obtained in israel from 1980 to 1981. | the serotyping scheme for campylobacter jejuni previously developed in the national center for campylobacter, jerusalem, was extended by the use of 20 new sera and modified by the absorption of the sera, when necessary, with homologous boiled cultures or heterologous live cultures. the extended scheme is based on slide agglutination of live suspensions and is performed in two stages: pretesting with four pooled sera and final testing with monovalent sera. so far, 34 serotypes have been recognize ... | 1983 | 6619282 |
| electron microscopy of the coccoid form of campylobacter jejuni. | confluent cultures of campylobacter jejuni incubated for 24 and 48 h each were examined by electron microscopy. although the 24-h-old cells exhibited typical curved morphology, the 48-h-old cells showed rounded morphology with a loss of cell integrity. this appeared to be an autolytic process that occurred very rapidly after the culture became mature. these results confirm previous evidence that the coccoid form of this organism is a degenerate state. | 1983 | 6619291 |

| properties of crude campylobacter jejuni heat-labile enterotoxin. | the amount of crude campylobacter jejuni enterotoxin present in culture products was quantitated by comparing the response of these preparations with that of pure escherichia coli heat-labile toxin (lt) in the chinese hamster ovary assay and in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays that used gm ganglioside or antisera to lt or both. maximum c. jejuni enterotoxin production was achieved by growth at 42 degrees c for 24 h under agitation in supplemented gc medium. adding polymyxin separately to eithe ... | 1984 | 6746090 |
| dna relatedness among strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli with divergent serogroup and hippurate reactions. | eleven strains of campylobacter from earlier fluorescent-antibody studies were examined by dna hybridization to determine their species. three of the strains hydrolyzed sodium hippurate, and eight did not. four of the hippurate-negative strains were in campylobacter jejuni serogroups, and the remaining strains were in both c. jejuni and campylobacter coli serogroups. dna relatedness to type strains of c. jejuni and c. coli indicated that all three of the hippurate-positive strains and two of the ... | 1984 | 6746886 |
| systematic investigation of enrichment media for wild-type campylobacter jejuni strains. | of the media examined, thioglycolate broth supplemented with 5% lysed sheep blood, butzler antibiotic mixture, and 0.1% lauryl sulfate was the most sensitive enrichment medium for recovery of wild-type strains of campylobacter jejuni from cecal contents of chickens and chicken livers. it allowed the retrieval of 1 cfu as did solid media but permitted the screening of 50-times larger volumes. double-strength enrichment medium required 5 to 10 cfu for growth. omission of lauryl sulfate reduced the ... | 1984 | 6746890 |
| factors affecting the lethality of campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni in mice. | intraperitoneal injection of campylobacter fetus ss. jejuni into ham/1cr mice was lethal, but viable counts of bacteria from whole body homogenates, organs and blood indicated that death was not due to sustained bacterial multiplication. heat-killed organisms (5 x 10(9) cfu) injected into 7-day-old mice caused death within 24 h and this was shown to be due to endotoxin. both ferric iron and heterologous lipopolysaccharide enhanced virulence; the ld50 was lowered from 1.8 x 10(9) cfu to 2.7 x 10( ... | 1984 | 6748038 |
| comparison of campypak ii with standard 5% oxygen and candle jars for growth of campylobacter jejuni from human feces. | to determine optimal temperature and atmospheric conditions for isolating campylobacter jejuni from fecal specimens of humans, we studied six laboratory isolates and 19 fecal specimens that were known to contain c. jejuni. we compared incubations in 5% oxygen, the campypak ii (bbl microbiology systems, cockeysville, md.) with 6 plates per jar (cp-6) and 12 plates per jar (cp-12), and candle jars at 37 and 42 degrees c. at both temperatures, the colony sizes for the laboratory strains were larger ... | 1982 | 6749892 |
