Campylobacter jejuni O:41 strains are found in association with Guillain-Barré syndrome in South Africa. Strains of this serotype collected over 17 years were characterized by amplified fragment length polymorphism and flagellin typing to determine their clonal nature. Despite minor variation in GM1 expression, all of the strains were genetically indistinguishable, indicating that they are representative of a genetically stable clone.
空肠弯曲菌O:41菌株在南非与吉兰-巴雷综合征相关。对17年期间收集的该血清型菌株进行扩增片段长度多态性分析和鞭毛蛋白分型,以确定其克隆性质。尽管GM1表达存在微小差异,但所有菌株在基因上无法区分,表明它们代表了一个基因稳定的克隆。
