空肠弯曲菌,是弯曲菌属胎儿弯曲菌种的亚种之一,英文名是Campylobater fetus Subsp jejuni。其引起人类肠炎和腹泻在世界各地都有报导,并作为“人类一种新的疾病”而引起注意。目前世界发展中国家引起腹泻的主要病因依次为产毒性大肠杆菌、轮状病毒、空肠弯曲菌,而在发达国家,空肠弯曲菌是次于轮状病毒引起儿童结肠炎的病原。这里对空肠弯曲菌作综述如下。一、研究历史最早是Jone等(1931)从牛腹泻物以及羊、猪、鸡等家畜、家禽中分离到此菌,认为主要是家畜家禽的致病菌。而最早报告人的感染是在美国伊利诺斯州由牛奶引起357例急性胃肠炎患者事例。 1972年比利时学者用过滤培养法从急性 Campylobacter jejuni Campylobater fetus Subsp jejuni is one of the subspecies of Campylobacter fetus. It causes human enteritis and diarrhea to be reported around the world and draws attention as “a new human disease.” At present, the main causes of diarrhea caused by developing countries in the world are as follows: enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, rotavirus and Campylobacter jejuni. In developed countries, Campylobacter jejuni is the second most common cause of Rotavirus-induced colitis in children. Campylobacter jejuni for review below. First, the study of history is the earliest Jone et al. (1931) isolated from cattle diarrhea and sheep, pigs, chickens and other livestock, poultry, that is mainly caused by livestock poultry pathogens. The earliest reported infections were 357 cases of acute gastroenteritis caused by milk in Illinois, USA. 1972 Belgian scholar used filter culture method from acute
