    Journal: Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin; 2006; 24(7):437-9. PubMed ID: 16956532.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to describe an outbreak of diarrhea caused by Campylobacter jejuni in a primary school. METHODS: Stool samples from five patients were cultured. Molecular typing of the isolated strains was performed using PCR-RFLP-flaA, PFGE and MLST. RESULTS: Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from all five patients. Two of the five strains were available for typing. The DNA patterns of the two isolates were indistinguishable. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the causal strain had a common identity.
