Comparative analysis of human and canine Campylobacter upsaliensis isolates by amplified fragment length polymorphism.

Abstract excerpt

Human (n = 33) and canine (n = 53) Campylobacter upsaliensis isolates from seven countries were genotyped by a new amplified fragment length polymorphism method. We observed 100% typeability and high overall diversity. The majority of human strains (23/33) clustered separately from canine strains, indicating that dogs may not be the main source of human infection.
