Since the sources from which humans acquire Campylobacter enteritis are only partially known, we studied the frequency of carriage of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in migratory waterfowl. Cecal contents of various species of wild ducks were cultured on selective media that contained antibiotics to inhibit normal flora. Thirty-five percent of the 445 ducks cultured harbored C. fetus subsp. jejuni. Migratory waterfowl are yet another reservoir for this enteric pathogen and may be of public health importance for humans in the contamination of water or when used as food.
由于人类感染空肠弯曲菌肠炎的来源仅部分已知，我们研究了空肠弯曲菌胎儿亚种在迁徙水禽中的携带频率。在含有抗生素以抑制正常菌群的选择性培养基上培养了各种野鸭的盲肠内容物。在培养的445只鸭子中，35%携带空肠弯曲菌胎儿亚种。迁徙水禽是这种肠道病原体的另一个宿主，在水污染或用作食物时，可能对人类的公共卫生具有重要意义。
