Abstract
Dog feces collected from a public park were cultured on selective media for Campylobacter spp. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 12 (4.6%) of 260 specimens. Salmonella spp. were found in only 3 (1.2%). Of the 12 isolates, 6 were nalidixic acid-resistant thermophilic campylobacters; during the same period of study none were found among human isolates. Most of the campylobacter positive feces were found during June and July. Dog feces deposited in public places constitute only a small potential source of infection by this organism.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
