Abstract

Fourteen-day-old chickens were inoculated with selected Campylobacter coli and C. jejuni strains. C. jejuni strains were of two subgroups based on a polymorphism detected using a DNA probe and represented the profiles typical for the majority of strains of either chicken or human origin. All C. coli strains previously isolated from humans colonised chickens, whereas from 4/7 C. jejuni strains of human origin, failed to colonise. Of 12 Campylobacter strains of chicken origin, 10 established a persistent colonisation in the chickens, and 2 strains colonised poorly or not at all. Four strains that failed to colonise chickens were each inoculated into groups of five birds. Three strains again did not colonise any of the chickens and the fourth strain colonised four out of the five chickens, but was poorly excreted. When infected chickens were placed in the same enclosure to facilitate interchange of strains, C. jejuni strain 331 was found to be dominant and colonised all 12 chickens by 21 days, displacing all other strains. C. jejuni strain 331, was then inoculated into groups of five birds with previously established colonisation by C. jejuni and C. coli strains. Strain 331 was able to replace the C. jejuni strain in all five bird...Continue Reading
