1971 Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 25 669 We believe that there are no close taxonomic affinities of campylobacters with bdellovibrios.
1977 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 2 July 10/2 The close association between the presence of campylobacters in faeces and the occurrence of a distinctive clinical enteritis alone suggests that these organisms are pathogens.
1986 New Scientist 10 Apr. 67/4 It is surprising not to find campylobacters listed alongside salmonellae as causes of food poisoning.
1989 Daily Tel. 7 Oct. 36/8 Salmonellosis, leptospirosis and campylobacter infection are among the commonest [zoonoses].
1991 Lancet 2 Mar. 511/1 A sample of stool from every patient was cultured for bacterial pathogens (Salmonells,..Campylobacter).
