Campylobacter jejuni strains compete for colonization in broiler chicks
Article Abstract:
In vitro and in vivo adherence and colonization assays are performed with Campylobacter jejuni clinical strain (F38011) and Campylobacter jejuni strain recovered from a chicken (02-833L) in order to understand the bacterium-host cell interactions. Campylobacter jejuni strains have competed for colonization in chicks and a novel intervention strategy is designed for reducing the level at which these strains colonizes the cecum.

Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni biofilms under defined growth conditions
Article Abstract:
A biofilm assay was used to investigate the mechanism required for Campylobacter jejuni biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces. Campylobacter jejuni biofilm formation was observed to be inhibited by growth in nutrient-rich media or high osmolarity and thermophilic and microaerophilic conditions have enhanced biofilm formation.

Prevalence of Campylobacter Spp. in cattle in Finland and antimicrobial susceptibilities of bovine Campylobacter jejuni strains
Article Abstract:
The role of Finnish cattle as a potential reservoir for thermophilic campylobacters and a source of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter jejuni is elucidated which revealed that prevalence of campylobacters in Finnish cattle at slaughter is low and carcass contamination is rare.
