Campylobacters isolated from human, animal and environmental sources during the investigation of a milk-borne outbreak, an incident involving goats' milk and an outbreak associated with puppies were serotyped using the Penner and Lior schemes and biotyped using the Preston scheme. Application of these three methods to the incident strains demonstrated that heterogenicity amongst similar strains exists. This study has confirmed the need to use at least two typing methods when investigating epidemiologically-related strains and we suggest that a combination of a serotyping scheme and an extended biotyping scheme is the most useful.
在对一起由牛奶传播的疫情、一起涉及山羊奶的事件以及一起与幼犬相关的疫情进行调查期间，从人类、动物和环境来源分离出的弯曲杆菌，使用彭纳（Penner）和利奥尔（Lior）分型方案进行血清分型，并使用普雷斯顿（Preston）分型方案进行生物分型。将这三种方法应用于疫情菌株表明，相似菌株之间存在异质性。本研究证实，在调查与流行病学相关的菌株时，需要使用至少两种分型方法，并且我们建议血清分型方案和扩展生物分型方案相结合是最有用的。
