The main mechanisms by which Campylobacter jejuni causes diarrhea are unknown. In contrast to a recent communication, we report here the absence of an association with the plasmid pVir in patients infected with C. jejuni who developed bloody diarrhea in The Netherlands, and we suggest a role for other virulence determinants.
空肠弯曲菌导致腹泻的主要机制尚不清楚。与最近的一篇报道相反,我们在此报告,在荷兰患血性腹泻的空肠弯曲菌感染患者中,不存在与pVir质粒的关联,我们认为其他毒力决定因素起了作用。
