Simultaneous presence of multiple Campylobacter species in dogs

M G J Koene et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2004 Feb.

Abstract

The prevalence of coinfection of Campylobacter species in dogs was determined using four isolation methods. In 26% of the positive-testing stools, multiple Campylobacter species were identified. The use of multiple isolation methods as well as the time lapse between sampling and processing are important for detection of coinfection.
