The surface antigens of Campylobacter sputorum subspecies mucosalis.
Campylobacter sputorum subsp mucosalis is the vibrio associated with a group of porcine enteropathies in which it is believed the primary lesion is that of adenomatosis. The surface antigens of mucosalis were investigated and individual factor sera were produced; these were used to examine a range of field strains from adenomatosis, necrotic enteritis, regional ileitis and proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy. Neither these not sequential isolants from the same farm showed any distinctive antigenic pattern and it is suggested that changes in the surface antigens take place during the intracellular existence of the organism.
