Serotyping of Campylobacter jejuni/coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antisera were prepared from strains of Campylobacter jejuni/coli isolated from patients in six outbreaks of enteritis. Bactericidal antibodies, and agglutinating antibodies to heat-labile and heat-stable antigens, were demonstrated. These reactions were used to type a number of strains isolated from patients in each outbreak, and to distinguish 'epidemic' from 'non-epidemic' strains.

Serotyping scheme for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli based on direct agglutination of heat-stable antigens.
Campylobacter is now the most frequently reported cause of gastrointestinal disease in England and Wales, yet few isolates are characterized beyond the genus level. The majority of isolates are Campylobacter jejuni (90%), with most of the remainder being Campylobacter coli. We describe an adaptation of the Penner serotyping scheme in which passive hemagglutination has been replaced by detection...
متن کاملRibosomal RNA gene restriction fragment diversity amongst Penner serotypes of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.
Diversity based on ribosomal RNA gene-restriction endonuclease digest patterns was detected amongst forty-seven strains of Campylobacter made up of 38 strains of Campylobacter jejuni and 9 strains of Campylobacter coli. Restriction digests of chromosomal DNA prepared by treating with Hae III were probed with an oligonucleotide specific for Campylobacter 16S ribosomal RNA genes. Seventeen distin...
متن کاملFluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism genotyping of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli strains and its relationship with host specificity, serotyping, and phage typing.
Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) analysis was applied to 276 Campylobacter jejuni strains and 87 Campylobacter coli strains isolated from humans, pigs, cattle, poultry, and retail meats to investigate whether certain FAFLP genotypes of C. jejuni and C. coli are associated with a particular host and to determine the degree of association between FAFLP-defined genotypes ...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization, and serotyping of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from slaughter cattle.
A total of 525 specimens from 100 slaughter beef cattle were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by direct plating and enrichment techniques. Isolates were identified by cultural, biochemical, antibiotic sensitivity, and immunofluorescence tests and further characterized with the aid of recently developed biotyping and serotyping methods. Fifty animals were ...
متن کاملDevelopment 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 unweight...
