Susceptibility2
- To determine whether GBS-associated strains may be resistant to killing by normal human serum (NHS), we studied the serum susceptibility of 17 GBS- and 27 enteritis-associated strains (including many O:19 and non-O:19 strains) using C. jejuni antibody positive (pool 1) or negative (pool 2) human serum.

- In summary, puppies should not be considered as companion animals in ACFs due to high rates of Campylobacter carriage and the underlying susceptibility of the elderly. (who.int)
Fecal-oral1
- The known routes of Campylobacter transmission include fecal-oral, person-to-person sexual contact, unpasteurized raw milk and poultry ingestion, and waterborne (ie, through contaminated water supplies). (medscape.com)
Illnesses1
- About one in every 1,000 reported Campylobacter illnesses leads to the disorder. (marlerclark.com)
Diagnosis4
- Although microscopic examination and DNA (PCR) testing of feces can demonstrate the presence of Campylobacter , a fecal culture and sensitivity test is normally required to make a definitive diagnosis, because healthy dogs can carry the bacteria without being sick. (vcahospitals.com)
