title: Distribution of Campylobacter jejuni capsular types, 2007-2012, Philadelphia, PA.
abstract: The distribution of Campylobacter jejuni capsular serotypes in the Philadelphia region from 2007 to 2012 was determined using molecular methods. Compared with the last U.S. survey in 1990, there does not appear to be a major shift in circulating capsular types.
