Recovery of injured Campylobacter jejuni cells after animal passage.

Department of Microbiology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India.

ABSTRACT

Sixteen freeze-thaw-injured nonculturable stocks of Campylobacter jejuni were passed through rat gut, and seven were reisolated. These reisolated strains were converted to toxin producers, as they were before preservation, following consecutive passages through rat gut. This observation indicated the existence of an injured, viable, but nonresuscitated form of C. jejuni which can be resuscitated to a culturable and fully virulent form by passaging the organism through a susceptible host.
