Serotypes of Campylobacter jejuni and C coli isolated from dogs

Abstract
The serotypes of Campylobacter jejuni and C coli isolated from 56 dogs were established by the Penner serotyping scheme. A total of 37 C jejuni and 19 C coli were typed. Only two of the C coli strains were typable by the Penner method compared to 29 of 37 C jejuni strains. Pen 2 and 4 were the most predominant serotypes, constituting 41‐4 per cent of the typable C jejuni strains. All but one of the C jejuni strains belonging to serotypes pen 1 and 2 were isolated from dogs with diarrhoea.
