The existence of a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state has been described for Campylobacter jejuni as it had been for a number pathogenic bacteria. Three C. jejuni human isolates were suspended in surface water and subsequently entered the VBNC state. After starvation for 30 days, VBNC cells were inoculated in the yolk sacs of embryonated eggs. Culturable cells were detected in a large proportion of the embryonated eggs inoculated with VBNC C. jejuni cells. Recovered cells kept their adhesion properties.
空肠弯曲菌如同许多致病细菌一样,已被描述存在一种活的但不可培养(VBNC)状态。三株空肠弯曲菌人类分离株悬浮于地表水中,随后进入VBNC状态。饥饿30天后,将VBNC细胞接种于鸡胚卵黄囊中。在接种了VBNC空肠弯曲菌细胞的大部分鸡胚中检测到了可培养细胞。复苏的细胞保持了它们的黏附特性。
