TABLE 1.

Campylobacter isolates with patterns indistinguishable from those from human patients based on sourcea

Source No. of isolates (C. jejuni/C. coli)b % isolates indistinguishable
C. jejuni C. coli Overall
Beef cattle 243/75 85.6 64.0 80.5
Dairy cattle 278/89 89.6 64.0 83.6
Pigs 6/357 66.7 12.6 13.7
Poultry animals and retail meat 194/115 74.2 47.0 64.1
 Total 721/636 83.9 32.1 59.7
a

Patterns indistinguishable are indistinguishable from those of human isolates in the CDC PulseNet database.

b

Four C. lari were isolated from dairy cattle and one from pigs. One C. fetus was isolated from pigs. These six isolates were included in the overall data, with the five C. lari (but not the C. fetus) having patterns indistinguishable from those of human isolates.
