Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni was isolated from the feces of 14.8% of a random sample of the healthy population of rural southern India. The rate of isolation was highest in preschool children. This finding emphasizes the need to identify markers of pathogenicity in strains of C. fetus subsp. jejuni, which so far are identified only by cultural characteristics. The pathogenic role of this organism in patients with diarrhoea in tropical developing countries can be understood when such markers of pathogenicity are found.
胎儿弯曲菌空肠亚种是从印度南部农村健康人群随机样本的14.8%的粪便中分离出来的。分离率在学龄前儿童中最高。这一发现强调了在胎儿弯曲菌空肠亚种菌株中识别致病性标志物的必要性,到目前为止,这些菌株仅通过培养特征来识别。当发现这种致病性标志物时,就可以理解这种微生物在热带发展中国家腹泻患者中的致病作用。
