Isolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus from a patient with cellulitis.
Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus is a gram-negative, slender, spirally curved bacterial pathogen. It has been isolated from human blood, spinal fluid, and abscesses, but cellulitis associated with bacteremia is rare. We report its isolation from a blood culture of a human patient with cellulitis as well as difficulties encountered in determining the identity of the subspecies of C. fetus.
متن کاملIsolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from migratory waterfowl.
Since the sources from which humans acquire Campylobacter enteritis are only partially known, we studied the frequency of carriage of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in migratory waterfowl. Cecal contents of various species of wild ducks were cultured on selective media that contained antibiotics to inhibit normal flora. Thirty-five percent of the 445 ducks cultured harbored C. fetus subsp. j...
متن کاملIsolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from Bangladeshi children.
To determine the prevalence of infection with Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in Bangladesh, culture surveys were conducted among three populations. In Dacca, Campylobacter was isolated from 5.2% of 97 individuals with clinical dysentery and from 12.3% of 204 patients with only diarrhea. This difference may have resulted from a greater representation of young children in the second group. Cam...

متن کاملA case of mitral endocarditis due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.
This report describes a patient presenting mitral native endocarditis due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus, which was revealed by syncope and identified using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. This gene sequencing method has become the preferred approach to identifying the new emerging pathogens when discrepancies exist between phenotypical tests.
