Genotypic and serotypic stability of Campylobacter jejuni strains during in vitro and in vivo passageE M Nielsen
Department of Microbiology, Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Copenhagen
Int J Med Microbiol 291:379-85. 2001..The results indicate that the applied typing methods are reliable and applicable for typing of Campylobacter isolates from different sources over time, and that many C. jejuni strains are genetically stable as tested by these methods...
Campylobacter concisus: an evaluation of certain phenotypic and genotypic characteristicsJ Engberg
Unit of Gastrointestinal Infections, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark
Clin Microbiol Infect 11:288-95. 2005..Further evidence is needed to support the possible role of C. concisus as a human enteric pathogen...

Absence of clonality of Campylobacter jejuni in serotypes other than HS:19 associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome and gastroenteritisJ Engberg
Department of Gastrointestinal Infections, Division of Diagnostics, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark
J Infect Dis 184:215-20. 2001..The results show that these isolates represent a heterogenic population and do not constitute a unique population across serotypes. No epidemiologic marker for GBS-associated strains was identified...

Emerg Infect Dis 7:24-34. 2001....
Evaluation of phenotypic and genotypic methods for subtyping Campylobacter jejuni isolates from humans, poultry, and cattleE M Nielsen
Danish Veterinary Laboratory, 1790 Copenhagen, Denmark
J Clin Microbiol 38:3800-10. 2000..Furthermore, in two cases isolates from cattle and human patients were found to be identical according to all six methods...
Distribution of serotypes of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli from Danish patients, poultry, cattle and swineE M Nielsen
Department of Microbiology, Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Copenhagen, Denmark
FEMS Immunol Med Microbiol 19:47-56. 1997..The serotype distribution of human clinical isolates showed large overlap with the serotype distribution of campylobacters in cattle and chickens, and on this basis both could be major sources of human campylobacteriosis...
Comparison of genotypes and serotypes of Campylobacter jejuni isolated from Danish wild mammals and birds and from broiler flocks and humansL Petersen
Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Department of Poultry, Fish and Fur Animals, DK 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark
Appl Environ Microbiol 67:3115-21. 2001..However, the relatively low number of wildlife strains with an inferred clonal relationship to human and chicken strains suggests that the importance of wildlife as a reservoir of infection is limited...
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. from humans, pigs, cattle, and broilers in DenmarkF M Aarestrup
Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Copenhagen
Antimicrob Agents Chemother 41:2244-50. 1997..Furthermore, this study showed differences in the resistance to antimicrobial agents among Campylobacter isolates of different origins...
Most Campylobacter subtypes from sporadic infections can be found in retail poultry products and food animalsE M Nielsen
Danish Institute for Food and Veterinary Research, Copenhagen, DenmarkStatens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark
Epidemiol Infect 134:758-67. 2006..jejuni subtypes found in poultry food samples, broiler chickens, and cattle were represented in the domestically acquired cases, indicating that C. jejuni from these reservoirs are likely sources of human infections in Denmark...
Systematic serotyping and riboprinting of Campylobacter spp. improves surveillance: experiences from two Danish countiesV Fussing
Department of Bacteriology, Mycology and Parasitology, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark
Clin Microbiol Infect 13:635-42. 2007..The observed clustering of Campylobacter isolates, with identical types in time and place, indicates that common-source outbreaks of campylobacteriosis are more common than is usually thought...
Antimicrobial resistance of thermophilic CampylobacterF M Aarestrup
Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Copenhagen
Vet Res 32:311-21. 2001..However, resistance genes originating from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species have been found, showing the potential for acquired resistance to emerge in Campylobacter...
Genetic relatedness among Campylobacter jejuni serotyped isolates of diverse origin as determined by numerical analysis of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) profilesB L Siemer
Danish Veterinary Institute, Departments of Bacteriology, Copenhagen, Denmark
J Appl Microbiol 96:795-802. 2004..SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The genetic relatedness among all 'Penner' serotypes of C. jejuni is assessed by AFLP analysis. In addition, further evidence of epidemic and host-specific clones of C. jejuni is provided...
