Ascorbic acid inhibition of Campylobacter jejuni growth.
The inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid on Campylobacter jejuni is described. In vitro growth of clinical strains, as measured spectrophotometrically, was inhibited by 0.5 mg of freshly prepared L-ascorbic acid per ml. Alkaline-treated or aged L-ascorbic acid increased inhibition, as did copper; however, L-cysteine, L-cystine, and glutathione prevented inhibition. Biochemical analysis of the med...
متن کاملThe Role of Campylobacter Jejuni in Campylobacteriosis
Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram negative, curved, motile, thermophilic and microaerophilic bacillus in Campylobacteriaceae family, which is one of the main causes of enteritis in human named campylobacteriosis. The main reservoir of Campylobacter jejuni is the alimentary tract of animals, especially chicken and turkey. Consumption of semi-cooked chicken meat, raw milk and unchlorinated water are...
متن کاملPrevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in captive wildlife species of India
Campylobacteriosis is an important zoonotic disease and the prevalence of Campylobacter is largely unknown in the wildlife of India.

متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni.
This review describes characteristics of the family Campylobacteraceae and traits of Campylobacter jejuni. The review then focuses on the worldwide problem of C. jejuni antimicrobial resistance and mechanisms of pathogenesis and virulence. Unravelling these areas will help with the development of new therapeutic agents and ultimately decrease illness caused by this important human pathogen.
متن کاملNatural Transformation of Campylobacter jejuni Occurs Beyond Limits of Growth
Campylobacter jejuni is a human bacterial pathogen. While poultry is considered to be a major source of food borne campylobacteriosis, C. jejuni is frequently found in the external environment, and water is another well-known source of human infections. Natural transformation is considered to be one of the main mechanisms for mediating transfer of genetic material and evolution of the organism....
