Abstract
Bile samples were collected from 477 Iowa dairy cows and were cultured for the thermophilic campylobacters. The prevalence of thermophilic campylobacters in the bile was 15.5%. Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli from dairy cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep, and human beings were serotyped to develop host-species profiles. Human and cattle serologic profiles were the most similar, and human and chicken profiles shared several similarities. Epidemiologic data from 168 human cases of campylobacteriosis indicated that 23% of the cases were associated with consumption of unpasteurized milk.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
