Stool samples were cultured from 356 children in different states of health and in different age groups between birth and six years of age in order to investigate the occurrence of Campylobacter jejuni and Clostridium difficile. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from two of 56 children with diarrhoea but was not isolated from any of 300 healthy children or children recently treated with antibiotics. Campylobacter jejuni does not seem to be a common cause of diarrhoea in children in Sweden and is definitely not a member of the normal fecal flora. Clostridium difficile was isolated from 17 of 100 healthy children one week to one year old, and from one of 100 perinatal children. About the same isolation frequency was found in children with diarrhoea and in children recently treated with antibiotics. A total of 34 isolates of Clostridium difficile were obtained, 29 of which were from children less than one year old. The isolation of Clostridium difficile in stools of children should in most cases be considered a normal finding.
为了调查空肠弯曲菌和艰难梭菌的感染情况，我们对356名年龄在出生至6岁之间、处于不同健康状态的儿童进行了粪便样本培养。在56名腹泻儿童中，有2名分离出了空肠弯曲菌，但在300名健康儿童或近期接受过抗生素治疗的儿童中均未分离出该菌。空肠弯曲菌似乎不是瑞典儿童腹泻的常见病因，而且肯定不是正常粪便菌群的成员。在100名1岁至1岁的健康儿童中，有17名分离出了艰难梭菌，在100名围产期儿童中有1名分离出该菌。腹泻儿童和近期接受过抗生素治疗的儿童中也发现了大致相同的分离频率。总共获得了34株艰难梭菌分离株，其中29株来自1岁以下儿童。在大多数情况下，儿童粪便中分离出艰难梭菌应被视为正常现象。
