Cellular fatty acid composition of Campylobacter pylori from primates and ferrets compared with those of other campylobacters

Abstract

The cellular fatty acid profiles of newly described campylobacters were determined on a polar, capillary cQlumnI. Six isolates of the gastric spiral organism, Campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae, from ferrets from Australia, England, and the United States were all found to have a similar fatty acid profile which was different from that of C. pylori from humans; C. pylori subsp. mustelae did not have 3-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (3-OH C18:0) and had much less tetradecanoic acid (C14:0) and much more hexadecanoic acid (C16:0). Inasmuch as

Routine identification of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from human stool samples

“…Its e¡ectiveness and reliability have been repeatedly demonstrated also for Campylobacter spp. [7,18]. In the present study 135 isolates were designated C. jejuni by GLC, 132 of them correctly, including four hippurate-negative C. jejuni strains.…”
