Comparaison of cytoletha distending toxin and invasion abilities in Campylobacter jejuni isolated from clinical patients and poultry

2009-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) and ability to invade cells are known virulence factors of Campylobacter jejuni. The cdtB subunit was sequenced in isolates obtained from humans (n = 19), chickens (n = 50), and turkeys (n = 22) to determine if pathogenic C. jejuni could be detected using the cdtB gene. Most of the C. jejuni isolates (87%) were found to carry the cdtB gene with a highly conserved sequence. How...
