The numbers of Campylobacter jejuni in water source were measured. C. jejuni in water source contains 0.011-1.5 MPN/L and is frequently abundant in summer and winter. Next, C. jejuni associated with GBS in water source was surveyed. The presence of sialic acid on C. jejuni lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is considered a risk factor for developing GBS. The LOS extracts of isolated C. jejuni were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). C. jejuni with sialylated LOS was regarded as the C. jejuni associated with GBS. Some C. jejuni strains isolated from water source had sialylated LOS. These C. jejuni strains were considered as C. jejuni associated with GBS.
