TLDR
Campylobacter fetus subsp.Abstract:
Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni was recovered as the sole bacterial pathogen from 31% of 0- to 8-month-old children with acute gastroenteritis and from 5% of asymptomatic children (P less than 0.05). In children 8 to 24 months old, the respective recovery rates were 38 and 40%. With the exception of one case of simultaneous bacteremia, the clinical course of the symptomatic infection was benign and rarely lasted more than a week. The isolates were sensitive to most commonly used antibiotics. Several isolates shared antigenic determinants with C. fetus subsp. intestinalis. A bacteriophage specific for C. fetus subsp. jejuni lysed 73% of the strains. Several phage-resistant isolates carried a phage that lysed the stock strain of C. fetus subsp. jejuni (NADC 917).read more

Infection by verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The best strategies for diagnosing human VTEC infection including testing for the presence of free VT in fecal filtrates and examining fecal cultures for VTEC by means of deoxyribonucleic acid probes that specify genes encoding VT1 and VT2 are currently confined to specialized laboratories and await commercial development for wider use.

Serotyping ofCampylobacter jejuni bySlide Agglutination BasedonHeat-Labile Antigenic Factors
TL;DR: A serotyping scheme for Campylobacter jejuni was developed based on slide agglutination of live bacteria with whole cell antisera absorbed with homologous heated and heterologous unheated cross-reactive antigens, allowing subdivision of some main serogroups into subserogroups.

TL;DR: A rapid screening test was developed to genetically group Campylobacter-like organisms and to assess the correlation of each genotype with enteric disease in homosexual men, finding that suggests subclinical disease.

TL;DR: One of the first specialized agencies of the United Nations to become active, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as discussed by the authors has elicited interest beyond the specialized field of agricultural economists.

Anaerobe Laboratory manual
TL;DR: The anaerobe laboratory manual is one of the literary work in this world in suitable to be reading material and it will show the amazing benefits of reading a book.

Campylobacter enteritis: a "new" disease.
TL;DR: Campylobacters are a relatively unrecognised cause of acute enteritis, but these findings suggest that they may be a common cause, and poultry may be the primary source of the organism.

Acute Enteritis Due to Related Vibrio: First Positive Stool Cultures
TL;DR: The results suggest that in all cases of diarrhea where standard coprocultures remain negative, stools should be checked for the presence of vibrio.

Related vibrio in stools
TL;DR: A systematic search for vibrio in the stools of 1,000 children without diarrhea revealed 13 carriers, and by means of a filtration technique for coproculture, relatively easy to isolate related vibrios from stool samples, using a medium containing antibiotics.
