Virulence of Campylobacter jejuni for chicken embryos.

S Mahajan 1, F G Rodgers 1
PMCID: PMC267561  PMID: 2754005

Abstract

The pathogenicity of Campylobacter jejuni was examined in chicken embryos. In this system, mortality data and histopathological findings induced by organisms and by bacterium-free filtered broth were identical. The absence in chicken embryo tissues both of organisms and of an inflammatory infiltrate suggests a toxin etiology.
