[Biochemical and serologic characteristics of Campylobacter jejuni/coli strains causing diarrhea in children].
One hundred strains of Campylobacter jejuni/coli isolated from faeces of children with diarrhoea were characterised. Frequency of isolation of these microorganisms from faeces of children with enterocolitis symptoms was evaluated. In this group Campylobacter jejuni/coli constituted 11.4% of all isolates, being the dominant etiologic agent of these infections. Biotype pattern of 100 Campylobacter jejuni/coli strains was determined. Biotype I C.jejuni prevailed and C. coli constituted as much as 35% of all isolated strains. All isolated strains were characterised serologically according to typing scheme of Lior. Seventy four strains were typed and 22 were untypable, out of which four were rough. Two new serotypes were isolated: LIO 71 and LIO 72, LIO 4 and LIO 72 serotypes were the most frequently isolated. Frequency of isolation of Campylobacter jejuni/coli strains were also determined in the period from january 1985 to august 1987.
