Abstract:
This study was carried out to isolate and identify Campylobacter jejuni from stool samples of patients suffering from diarrhoea. The study spanned a two-year period and C. jejuni was isolated in 10 (4.5%) out of 220 patients of diarrhoea] disorders. In samples of stool collected from 50 healthy individuals, C. jejuni was isolated in one (2%) case. Further, to isolate other enteropathogens alongwith C. jejuni, procedures were undertaken simultaneously to identify Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio cholerae infection. Salmonella sp was isolated in 8 (3.6%), Shigella sp in 4 (1.8%) and Vibrio cholerae in 10 (4.5%) cases out of 220 faecal cultures studied. In one stool specimen Shigella flexneri was isolated alongwith C. jejuni.
