Heterogeneity of cytolethal distending toxin sequence types of Campylobacter jejuni and correlation to invasion/cytotoxicity potential: The first molecular survey from Iran.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and attachment/invasion potential of thermophilic Campylobacter isolates regarding their cdtABC sequence types and virulence-associated gene content. A total of 33 Campylobacter spp. were identified from 750 stool samples isolated from patients characterized with diarrhea. The prevalence rates of flaA, ciaB, and pldA genes among the isolates were 97, 100, and...
