Three hundred strains of Campylobacter jejuni, isolated from human patients, poultry and pigs were serotyped according to the Penner-Lauwers system and furthermore tested for hippurate hydrolysis. Serotyping showed a close relationship between human and chicken strains, whereas there was little relationship between human and pig strains. A similar conclusion was drawn from the results of the hippurate hydrolysis test: 86% of human and 94% of poultry strains were positive, whereas 91% of pig strains were negative. These data confirm the conclusions from epidemiological investigations, according to which poultry is a major source of human campylobacteriosis, while pigs are rarely so.
从人类患者、家禽和猪中分离出的300株空肠弯曲菌，根据彭纳 - 劳韦斯系统进行血清分型，并进一步检测其马尿酸盐水解情况。血清分型显示人类菌株与鸡菌株之间关系密切，而人类菌株与猪菌株之间关系不大。马尿酸盐水解试验结果也得出了类似结论：86%的人类菌株和94%的家禽菌株呈阳性，而91%的猪菌株呈阴性。这些数据证实了流行病学调查的结论，据此家禽是人类弯曲菌病的主要来源，而猪很少是。
