Failure of Campylobacter pylori to grow in commercial blood culture systems.

چکیده
Of 50 blood culture sets, 20 Bacto (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich.), 20 Septi-Chek (Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., Nutley, N.J.), and 10 BACTEC 6B and 7D (Johnston Laboratories, Inc., Towson, Md.) sets were inoculated with Campylobacter pylori and fresh human blood. None of the 50 blood cultures produced any detectable growth. Current commercial blood culture systems may be inadequate for the detection of C. pylori bacteremia.

Background: Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are zoonotic bacteria which are frequently associated with human diarrhea. Sharing of the cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes in Campylobacter is common and is considered species specific. OBJECTIVES: In this study we focused on detecting the presence of cdt gene in C. jejuni and C. coli isolated from broilers, turkeys and quails of Ir...
