Campylobacter insulaenigrae isolates from Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) in California

Article Abstract:

Campylobacter insulaenigrae species are characterized by using standard phenotypic methods, 16S rRNA PCR and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The analysis has shown the inability of phenotypic characterization to properly identify all Campylobacter species and has emphasized the importance of molecular characterization for the identification of Campylobacter isolates from marine mammals.

Isolation and characterization of Campylobacter bacteriophages from retail poultry

Article Abstract:

The authors discuss the study of Campylobacter bacteriophages. They demonstrate that these bacteriophages can survive on retail chicken under commercial storage conditions, and that the phages have a wide range of recovery rates from chicken skin stored at 4 degrees Celsius.

Application of host-specific bacteriophages to the surface of chicken skin leads to a reduction in recovery of Campylobacter jejuni

Article Abstract:

Research shows that human campylobacteriosis can be contained by the application of the Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 12662 phage type 14 to the surface of chicken skin, which reduces the number of recoverable C. jejuni cells from broiler carcasses in abattoir.
