Urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter species

Article Abstract:

Since the first isolation of urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter (UPTC) in 1985, approximately 200 UPTC isolates obtained from the natural environment, including wild birds in Europe and Asia, are detected. Three subspecies taxa are proposed recently, one of which, C. lari subspecies ureasum would be for the UPTC organisms.

Characterization of urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter subspecies by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis typing

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on urease-positive Campylobacter isolates. The authors have compared these isolates genotypically via the use of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, have examined allelic variation around enzyme loci, and have reported that these isolates are genetically hypervariable.

Toward an international standard for PCR-based detection of food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters: assay development and analytical validation

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters. The authors have investigated PCR assays for detection of Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli and C. lari in foods, and they report the results.
