SPECIES AND SEROTYPES OF CAMPYLOBACTER FROM DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN NIGERIA

Of 225 strains of Campylobacter spp. isolated from healthy and diarrhoeic domestic or farm animals in Nigeria, 181 were serotyped by passive haemagglutination. The serotypes identified were similar to those found elsewhere in the world. For this reason, the serotyping scheme based on thermostable an...

Zusammenfassung:Of 225 strains of Campylobacter spp. isolated from healthy and diarrhoeic domestic or farm animals in Nigeria, 181 were serotyped by passive haemagglutination. The serotypes identified were similar to those found elsewhere in the world. For this reason, the serotyping scheme based on thermostable antigens may be widely applicable. The serotypes isolated from animals were similar to serotypes found in previous studies of isolates from humans in Nigeria, and may indicate the common occurrence of cross-infections.
