Incidence of Campylobacter species in animal handlers.
From the stool samples collected from diarrhoeic and healthy handlers of domestic animals different Campylobacter species were isolated in 16.6 and 21.1 per cent respectively. Both biotypes 1 and 2 were identified. All the 10 strains of C. jejuni were found to be enterotoxigenic or potentially enterotoxigenic in the ligated ileal loop of albino rats.
