Abstract excerpt
The virulence of Campylobacter jejuni for 11-day-old chick embryos is associated with the ability to invade the chorio-allantoic membrane, to resist phagocytosis and to survive and proliferate in vivo. The pathogenicity of a well characterised avirulent C. jejuni strain was enhanced by passaging...
