Characterization of Campylobacter Jejuni/Coli Isolated from Different Sources

Karakterisering av Campylobacter jejuni/coli isolerat från olika källor

Abstract

Characteristics of 50 strains of G. jejuni/coli isolated from rectal swabs, caecal contents or bile of cow, sheep, goat, swine, broiler chicken and man were investigated. All the strains grew at 30 °C, 35°C 42°C, but not at 25 °C. The strains were nalidixic acid sensitive. Differences were noticed in salt-tolerance, in the growth with 2,3,5 tri-phenyltetracolium chloride and in the hippurate hydrolysis. Growth of the strains with certain bile salts was also investigated and the results are discussed.

Sammanfatnning

Biokemiska egenskaper hos stammar av Campylobacter jejuni/coli undersöktes i prov isolerade från feces, caecuminhåll eller gall a från ko, får, get, svin, broiler och människa. Alla stammar växte i 30 °C, 35°C och 42 °C, men inte i 25° G. Stammarna var känsliga för nalidixin-syra. Skillnader i salttolerans, tillväxt med 2,3,5 trifenyltetrazolium-klorid och i hydrolys av hippurat künde konstaterats. Tillväxten av stammarna i närvaro av vissa gallsalter undersöktes även och resul-taten har diskuterats.
