Urease-Positive Thermophilic Campylobacter Species

Urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter (Campylobacter laridis variant) isolated from an appendix and from human feces.

Urease-positive thermophilic campylobacters were isolated for the first time from the feces of two adults with diarrheal disease and from the appendix of a child with appendicitis. They were identified as Campylobacter laridis by a hybridization dot blot assay. Urease testing should be included in the tests used for the identification of campylobacters at the species level, even for those strai...

Genome Sequence of a Urease-Positive Campylobacter lari Strain

Campylobacter lari is frequently isolated from shore birds and can cause illness in humans. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of a urease-positive strain of C. lari that was isolated in estuarial water on the coast of Delaware, USA.

Prevalence of thermophilic Campylobacter species in Swedish dogs and characterization of C. jejuni isolates

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of Campylobacter species in Swedish dogs, to identify the species of the Campylobacter isolates and to genotype the C. jejuni isolates. Young and healthy dogs were targeted and the sampling was performed at 11 veterinary clinics throughout Sweden from October 2011 to October 2012. Faecal swab samples were collected and sent to...
