Sampling time | Chlamydophila psittaci | Campylobacter jejuni | Campylobacter coli |
---|---|---|---|
Nov. 2006 | 59.7%a (37/62) | 81.8%b (36/44) | 0% (0/44) |
May 2007 | 37.0%a (10/27) | 86.4%b (19/22) | 4.5% (1/22) |
Nov. 2007 | 51.8%a (14/27) | 35.7%b (10/28) | 0% (0/28) |
Overall | 52.6% (61/116) | 69.1% (65/94) | 1.1% (1/94) |
Presence of the pathogens was determined by PCR analysis and sequence alignments with Genbank (see Methods).
