| Research Abstract |
Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in Japan. The public health center in Fukuoka city, conducted the inspections of the restaurant and identified an association between eating several dishes containing chicken. We investigated the cases those had been identified with culture positive for Campylobacter. PCR using species-specific primer sets for Campylobacter showed that 10 strains isolated from the cases were C. jejuni. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphic (RFLP) Analysis using PCR amplified flagellin gene demonstrated that two distinct patterns were observed among the strains. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis also showed the same result. Cytolethal distending toxin gene sequencing and Multilocus Sequence Typing analysis of the strains revealed that the two strains are not related each other. These data suggested that the outbreak might be caused by the food which was contaminated with the two distinct C. jejuni strains.
