Bovine Campylobacter jejuni strains differ from human and chicken strains in an analysis of certain molecular genetic markers

Manuel Gonzalez et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2009 Feb.

Abstract

The association of four new genetic markers with a chicken, bovine, or human host was studied among 645 Campylobacter jejuni isolates. The gamma-glutamate transpeptidase gene and dmsA were common in human and chicken isolates but uncommon among bovine isolates. In the t test, bovine isolates differed significantly (P < 0.05) from human and chicken isolates.
