Abstract

One hundred eighty-five enteric Campylobacter strains isolated from diarrheic or healthy children in Bangui (Central African Republic) were studied to determine their species and serotypes. C. coli was identified in 38.9% of all strains and in 43.9% of strains from diarrheic children. By the hemagglutination technique for heat-stable antigens, 73.5% of the strains could be serotyped. Of the typeable strains, 75% were distributed among 13 more frequent serotypes. C. coli serotype Pen 37,56 was the most common serotype from diarrheic children.
