Molecular subtyping scheme for serotypes HS1 and HS4 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...

Molecular Typing of Campylobacter Jejuni

Subtyping of Campylobacter jejuni by Using Capillary Electrophoresis

24 Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of the frequently reported foodborne diseases in 25 the developed and developing nations. This manuscript describes the development of multiple26 locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) using capillary electrophoresis as a novel 27 typing method for microbial source tracking and epidemiological investigation of C. jejuni. 28 Among 36 tandem ...

Global Distribution of Campylobacter jejuni Penner Serotypes: A Systematic Review

Penner serotyping has been the principal method for differentiating Campylobacter isolates since its inception. Campylobacter capsule polysaccharide (CPS), the principal serodeterminant on which Penner serotyping is based, is presently of interest as a vaccine component. To determine the required valency of an effective CPS-based vaccine, a comprehensive understanding of CPS distribution is nee...

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...
