The serotypes of the isolates were determined by using the Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens scheme (12). This is a modification of the Penner serotyping scheme for C. jejuni and C. coli based on the use of absorbed antisera to heat-stable antigens and utilizing direct whole-cell agglutination instead of passive hemagglutination as the detection system.
