Of all the virulence factors that were proposed for Campylobacter jejuni and related species
to cause disease in humans, the discovery of toxin production was the most promising but …

The production of a haemolysin by Streptococcus suis capsular type 2 was investigated.
Human group O erythrocytes were the most susceptible, followed by horse, sheep, cow and …

A gene (pldA) encoding a 35.0-kDa protein with significant homology to the Escherichia coli
outer membrane phospholipase was identified upstream of an operon encoding an …

ABSTRACT A putative iron-and Fur-regulated hemin uptake gene cluster, composed of the
transport genes chuABCD and a putative heme oxygenase gene (Cj1613c), has been …

A membrane-bound, haemolytic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity was detected in clinical
strains of Campylobacter concisus isolated from children with gastroenteritis. The clinical …

Campylobacter species are increasingly being recognized as agents of gastroenteritis
worldwide. However, data on the pathogenic characteristics of the organism isolated in rural …

A genomic library of Campylobacter jejuni (NCTC 11351) was used to identify genes which
could confer a hemolytic phenotype to Escherichia coli. Accordingly, when transformants …

Campylobacter concisus is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in the human oral
cavity. It has also been isolated from clinical sources including gastroenteritis cases. Both …

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of human diarrhoeal disease, but specific virulence
mechanisms have not been well defined. This blinded study was undertaken with 40 C …

Alpha-hemolytic-like activity from Campylobacter jejuni was clearly apparent when the
medium pH ranged from 6.0 to 6.5, but the hemolytic zones disappeared when the pH of the …
