Novel Campylobacter-like organism resembling Helicobacter fennelliae isolated from a boy with gastroenteritis and from dogs.

چکیده
We isolated a Campylobacter-like organism resembling Helicobacter fennelliae from a 5 1/2-year-old boy with gastroenteritis. Similar strains had been found previously in fecal specimens from healthy and diarrheic dogs. These isolates could be differentiated from H. fennelliae by a lack of catalase and arylsulfatase activities. This group of organisms seems to be homogeneous by a nonradioactive dot blot DNA hybridization assay.

Helicobacter pullorum sp. nov.-genotype and phenotype of a new species isolated from poultry and from human patients with gastroenteritis.
Campylobacter-like organisms were isolated from the liver, duodenum and caecum of broiler and layer chickens, and from humans with gastroenteritis. They formed a unique DNA homology group and a polyphasic taxonomic analysis was made of 16 strains. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene from seven of the strains identified them as belonging to a single species, within the genus...

Engberg et al. (2) compared selective media and filtration for the efficient isolation of campylobacteria from stools. Since 1977, we have routinely isolated campylobacters from the diarrhetic stools of pediatric patients at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1990, the use of antibiotic-containing plates was discontinued, and the Cape Town protocol, the first to co...

Byrne et al. (1) presented data on the superiority of cefoperazone amphotericin teicoplanin (CAT) selective medium over modified cefoperazone charcoal deoxycholate selective medium for the efficient isolation of Campylobacter upsaliensis from stools. There are alternatives to the use of selective media for the isolation of C. upsaliensis. Since 1977 we have routinely isolated campylobacters fro...
متن کاملHelicobacter marmotae and novel Helicobacter and Campylobacter species isolated from the livers and intestines of prairie dogs.
Prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) are used to study the aetiology and prevention of gallstones because of the similarities of prairie dog and human bile gallstone composition. Epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested a connection between infection with Helicobacter species and cholesterol cholelithiasis, cholecystis and gallbladder cancer. Ten of the 34 prairie dogs in this stu...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Helicobacter fennelliae Strain MRY12-0050, Isolated from a Bacteremia Patient
Helicobacter fennelliae, a human enterohepatic pathogen, causes bacteremia and colitis. We isolated H. fennelliae strain MRY12-0050 from a female patient; this strain was isolated from 2 other patients from the same hospital during the same period, suggesting human-to-human transmission. This is the first report of an H. fennelliae genome sequence.
