Protozoan Acanthamoeba polyphaga as a potential reservoir for Campylobacter jejuni

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted which shows that four different Campylobacter jejuni strains are able to infect the protozoan Acanthamoeba polyphaga C. jejuni cells survived for longer periods when cocultured with amoebae that when grown in culture alone. The result indicates that amoebae may serve as a nonvertebrate reservoir for C. jejuni in the environment.

Acanthamoeba-Campylobacter coculture as a novel method for enrichment of Campylobacter species

Article Abstract:

Acanthamoeba-Campylobacter coculture (ACC) method is described for isolating and enriching low concentrations of Campylobacter pathogens. The findings have shown that ACC method is a promising tool for the enrichment of Campylobacter species, particularly from water samples with low bacterial concentrations.
