Molecular identification of surface protein antigens of Campylobacter jejuni

Molecular Typing of Campylobacter Jejuni

A Molecular Survey of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter Coli Virulence and Diversity

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of virulence-associated genes and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR) analysis of Campylobacter spp. isolated from children with diarrhea in Iran. Methods: A total of 200 stool specimens were obtained from children under 5 years during July 2012 to July 2013. Detection of C. jejuni and C. coli was perfo...

Identification of Campylobacter jejuni promoter sequences.

A promoterless lacZ shuttle vector, which allowed screening of promoters by beta-galactosidase activity in Campylobacter jejuni and Escherichia coli, was developed. Chromosomal DNA fragments from C. jejuni were cloned into this vector; 125 of 1,824 clones displayed promoter activity in C. jejuni. Eleven clones with strong promoter activity in C. jejuni were further characterized. Their nucleoti...

Molecular typing of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.

Shi et al. (7) presented data on the development and application of a PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of a 9.6-kb portion of the lipopolysaccharide gene (LG) cluster of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. This proposed molecular subtyping system is novel and has the potential of being directly applicable to epidemiology, prevalence, and other studies. I agre...

Prevalence of cdt Gene in Campylobacter jejuni Strains Isolated from Surface Waters of Rasht, Iran

ABSTRACT         Background and Objective: Campylobacters are infectious zoonotic agents, and among the main bacterial causes of gastroenteritis in humans. Studies have shown that Campylobacter jejuni is of the main causes of infection among humans. Detection of these infectious agents in water resources is of great importance for maintaining the health of hu...
