Two strains of urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter (UPTC), designated YC98-1 and YC98-2, were identified by biochemical characterization after isolation from the intestinal contents of crows around Yokohama City, Japan, in 1998. The biochemical characteristics of these strains were identical to those of strains described previously. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) after separate digestion with ApaI, SalI, and SmaI of the genomic DNA from the two strains indicated that respective PFGE profiles were distinctly different and distinguishable from each other. This is the first report of the isolation of UPTC from crows (Corvus levaillantii).
1998年，从日本横滨市周边乌鸦的肠道内容物中分离出两株脲酶阳性嗜热弯曲菌（UPTC），分别命名为YC98-1和YC98-2。通过生化特性鉴定，这些菌株的生化特性与先前描述的菌株相同。对这两株菌株的基因组DNA分别用ApaI、SalI和SmaI进行酶切后进行脉冲场凝胶电泳（PFGE）分析，结果表明各自的PFGE图谱明显不同，相互之间可以区分。这是首次从乌鸦（Corvus levaillantii）中分离出UPTC的报道。
