Abstract
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiles of soluble proteins of seven isolates of Campylobacter mucosalis and eight isolates of Campylobacter hyointestinalis from proliferative enteritis in swine were compared with that of 12 reference strains of nine species of Campylobacter. C. mucosalis and C. hyointestinalis showed unique protein banding patterns, respectively. Nine reference Campylobacter species also could be distinguished from one another by distinctive protein bands. Gel electrophoresis of soluble proteins will provide a rapid, inexpensive and reliable data for the identification of Campylobacter species. Correlation between the difference in serovars of C. mucosalis and protein profiles was uncertain. As for C. hyointestinalis no notable differences of protein profiles were observed among isolates from affected animals of various clinical manifestations.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
