[The role of the "milk" factor in the transmission of Campylobacter infection].

The epidemiological survey of the foci of campylobacteriosis confirmed the activity of the "milk" factor in the transmission of this enteric infection. The proliferation of Campylobacter in milk corresponded to the general regularities of the growth of bacterial population in the closed system. Most of the Campylobacter strains under study retained their viability in cooled boiled milk for a longer time.

[Current parameters of the epidemiological process in campylobacteriosis].

Data on some parameters of the epidemic process of campylobacteriosis in the Ukraine are presented. Campylobacteriosis patients were found to constitute 1.9 +/- 0.

[The cytopathogenic activity of Campylobacter isolated from different sources].

The data on the cytopathogenic activity of campylobacteria isolated from different sources are presented. 84.7 % of the isolated campylobacteria have been shown to possess cytopathogenicity with respect to Hep-2 cell cultures.

[The characteristics of the epidemiology of campylobacteriosis under modern conditions].

The results of the clinico-epidemiological study of campylobacteriosis in a concrete area (Kiev and the Kiev region) are presented. The proportion of campylobacteriosis cases was found to be 6.4% among patients hospitalized in connection with acute enteric infections.

[The antibiotic resistance of strains of Campylobacter of different origins].

Antibioticograms of different campylobacteria strains have been analyzed. It is shown possible to develop a system of epidemiological marking on this basis. With this purpose sensitivity of campylobacteria to gentamycin, canamycin, carbenicyllin, tetracylin and erythromycin has been studied.
