Abstract
A total of 273 rectal swabs from dairy cows were cultured for Campylobacter jejuni/coli. The isolation rate was 17/72 (24%), 33/106 (31%) and 11/95 (12%) during summer, autumn and winter respectively. Approximately half of the isolates were C.jejuni and the other half C. coli. The isolates recovered from dairy cows were typed by bacterial restriction endonuclease DNA analysis (BRENDA) and compared with those of sheep. Seventeen different BRENDA patterns were produced by the isolates from dairy cows and six from 27 isolates of sheep. Of these 21 different BRENDA patterns only two were common to sheep and cattle.Keywords
