Hippurate hydrolysis by Campylobacter fetus.
An additional method for differentiating between Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni and C. fetus subsp. intestinalis is reported. Strains of C. fetus subsp. jejuni (18/20) were shown to hydrolyze hippurate in the 2-h rapid test, whereas strains of C. fetus subsp. intestinalis did not.
متن کاملComparison of characteristics of patients infected by Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, and Campylobacter fetus.
A large database of Campylobacter isolates precisely identified at the species level was used to compare patients' characteristics. In a multivariate analysis, Campylobacter coli was found more often in older patients and in patients having traveled abroad and less often in summertime than Campylobacter jejuni. Campylobacter fetus infection occurred in much older patients and in hospitalized pa...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Campylobacter fetus Infections
We developed a mouse model to compare the virulence of Campylobacter fetus strains with (S-plus) and without (Sminus) surface array protein (S-protein) capsules. In adult HA/ICR mice pretreated with ferric chloride, the LDF0 for S-plus strain 84-32 was 43.3 times lower than its spontaneous S-minus mutant 84-54. Seven strains of inbred mice were no more susceptible than the outbred strain. In co...
متن کاملFatal relapse of a purulent pleurisy caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.
Campylobacter fetus is associated with invasive disease, while other Campylobacter species, such as C. coli and C. jejuni, are a common cause of bacterial diarrhea. Bacteremia has been well described, but pleurisy remains very uncommon. We report the recurrent isolation of a C. fetus subsp. fetus strain during two episodes of pleural effusion with a fatal outcome.
متن کاملThe demonstration of the K-antigen of Campylobacter fetus venerealis using a microtitre agglutination test.
Using specific antisera prepared against heat-treated and untreated cells in a microtitre system, 7 strains of Campylobacter fetus venerealis were examined for the presence of K-antigen. The technique was effective for distinguishing between strains and it was found that 4 out of 7 isolates contained microcapsules, therefore being potentially suitable for vaccine production.
