Abstract
in English, Norwegian

One hundred and two strains of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni isolated from pigs, various avian species and man were subjected to biochemical characterization including hydrolysis of hippurate, tolerance of 3.5 % saline, H2S production in TSI medium, growth on TTC agar and antibiotic sensitivity. On this basis the porcine strains could be classified into 4 groups, while the avian and human strains could each be divided into 2 groups. The avian and human strains had the same biochemical characteristics as 2 of the porcine groups.

Det ble foretatt en undersøkelse av noen egenskaper til 102 stammer Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni isolert fra gris, fugl og menneske. Undersøkelsen omfattet hippurat hydrolyse, 3,5 % salttoleranse, danneise av H2S og spalting av sukker i TSI-mediet, vekst på TTC-agar og antibiotikasensitivitetstester. Ut fra de påviste egenskaper kunne stammer fra gris plasseres i 4 grupper. Stammene isolert fra fugl og menneske kunne inndeles i 2 grupper. De 2 gruppene fra fugl og menneske hadde de samme egenskaper som 2 av gruppene fra gris.
