Low concentrations of Campylobacter jejuni cells in environmental samples make them difficult to study with conventional culture methods. Here, we show that enrichment by amoeba cocultures works well with low-concentration samples and that this method can be combined with molecular techniques without loss of genetic specificity.

Rotation of the bacterial flagellum, the first identified biological rotary machine, is driven by its stator units. Knowledge gained about the function of stator units has increasingly led to studies of rotary complexes in different cellular pathways. Here, we report that a tetrameric PilZ family protein, FlgX, is a structural component underneath the stator units in the flagellar motor of .

Campylobacter infections are a prevalent cause of diarrheal disease in humans and are the most significant zoonotic pathogens worldwide. Human campylobacteriosis is generally via ingestion of contaminated poultry products. However, based on recent studies chicken egg yolk antibody (IgY) powder has great potential to reduce the cecum load of Campylobacter jejuni (C.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of fecal microorganisms and parasites in a population of sheltered cats, and to identify specific animal factors associated with infection.
Animals: A total of 79 sheltered cats and kittens in Guelph, Ontario.
Procedure: A fecal sample was collected from each animal upon shelter entry.

Post-transcriptional gene regulation by non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) is critical for colonization and survival of enteric pathogens, including the zoonotic pathogen . In this study, we utilized IA3902 (a representative isolate of the sheep abortion clone) and W7 (a highly motile variant of NCTC 11168, a human gastroenteritis strain) to further investigate regulation by sRNA CjNC110. Both motility and autoagglutination ability were confirmed to be phenotypes of conserved regulation by CjNC110.
