Eighty Campylobacter thermophilic group strains were isolated from 79/813 (9.7%) fecal specimens obtained from infantile gastroenteritis cases in the period January 1981-December 1982. Sixty C. jejuni biotype 1, 1 C. jejuni biotype 2, 19 C. coli strains were identified on the basis of the schema proposed by Skirrow and Benjamin (8,9). Using the schema outlined by Hebert et al.

Abstract

Eighty Campylobacter thermophilic group strains were isolated from 79/813 (9.7%) fecal specimens obtained from infantile gastroenteritis cases in the period January 1981-December 1982. Sixty C. jejuni biotype 1, 1 C. jejuni biotype 2, 19 C. coli strains were identified on the basis of the schema proposed by Skirrow and Benjamin (8,9). Using the schema outlined by Hebert et al. (3) 4 biotypes were identified among the 60 C. jejuni biotype 1 strains: biotype 3 with 27 strains, biotype 4 with 14 strains, biotype 1 with 13 strains, biotype 2 with 6 strains. Four biotypes were also identified among the 19 C. coli strains: biotype 8 with 14 strains, biotype 5 and 7 with 2 strains, biotype 6 with 1 strain. Of the 80 strains isolated, 64 (51 C. jejuni and 13 C. coli) were assayed for typing. Data obtained with a passive hemagglutination technique showed a great variety of serotypes, the most common of which were serotypes 1 (12.5%) and 2 (10.9%), found in the species C. jejuni biotype 1 only. Seventeen strains could not be typed, the greatest percentage of them having being found among biotype 8 (7 out of 10 tested). This study has thus revealed a wide variety of species, biotypes and serotypes among the thermophilic campylobacters isolated in the Sienese Area.
