During a five-day period, four neonates in a neonatal nursery developed Campylobacter entercolitis. Investigations suggested that cross-infection or common-source infection were unlikely and that the neonates acquired their infection during delivery from their respective mothers, three of whom were also found to harbour Campylobacter jejuni in their stools. This suggestion was confirmed with use of the Lior serotyping system in a blind fashion. Each neonate was infected with a different serotype, and each of the three culture-positive mothers had the same serotype as her neonate. Examination of multiple colonies from the stools of five individuals showed that each was likely to have been infected by only one serotype. The presenting clinical features in the four neonates provides further evidence that neonatal Campylobacter entercolitis typically manifests as a benign, self-limited, nonfebrile, diarrheal illness with bloody stools.
在为期五天的时间里，一家新生儿保育室中有四名新生儿患上了空肠弯曲菌小肠结肠炎。调查表明，交叉感染或共同来源感染的可能性不大，这些新生儿是在分娩过程中从各自母亲那里感染的，其中三名母亲的粪便中也被发现携带空肠弯曲菌。这一推测通过使用利奥尔血清分型系统以盲法得到了证实。每名新生儿感染的是不同血清型，三名粪便培养呈阳性的母亲各自的血清型与其新生儿相同。对五个人粪便中的多个菌落进行检查表明，每个人可能仅感染了一种血清型。这四名新生儿的临床表现进一步证明，新生儿空肠弯曲菌小肠结肠炎通常表现为一种良性、自限性、无发热症状且伴有血便的腹泻疾病。
