title: [Isolation in the Ferrara province of Campylobacter thermophile from man, animals, food and the environment during the 2-year period 1984-1985].
abstract: During a two-years period (1984-1985), thermophilic campylobacters were sought in materials of various origin: isolation rates were as follows: from 1680 stool specimens of enteropathic patients, 6.0%; from 1920 stool specimens of asymptomatic subjects, 0.5%; from 325 stool specimens of healthy animals, belonging to 5 different species, 51.7%; from 106 meat samples of 6 different species, 32.1%; from 194 samples of raw milk, 0.5%; from 43 samples of surface waters, 37.2%; from 150 samples of waste water, 4.0%. 286 Campylobacter strains were typed according to the Skirrow's scheme: C. jejuni biot. 1 represented 64.0% of isolates, followed by C. coli (29.7%), unclassified Campylobacters (5.6%), C. fetus (0.3%) and C. jejuni biot. 2 (0.3%).
