number of patients answering the question yes or no on the questionnaire. This column provides data on the overall frequency of symptoms. Isolates for further analysis were not available for all patients answering the comprehensive questionnaire. Data in the section “Association of C. jejuni strain characteristics with symptoms…” contains symptom information Pyruvate dehydrogenase from patients from whom isolates were obtained and were typed. The frequencies selleck with which each symptom was associated with the presence of absence of the CJIE1 prophage and also the presence within the CJIE prophage of ORF11 have been compared to determine whether either CJIE1 alone or CJIE1 with ORF11 have any significant effect on patient symptoms compared with absence of the prophage. C-EnterNet also recovers bacteria from food, animals, and environmental sources
within the sentinel site. These isolates were used to assess whether there was any association between the presence of the CJIE1 prophage or the CJIE1 prophage + ORF11 and recovery of Campylobacter spp. from particular sources. The data summarized in Table 4 indicate that there was a much higher percentage of C. jejuni isolates without the CJIE1 prophage from water than from chicken breast, humans, and pigs (P = 0.003 for comparison of water with retail chicken breast, P = <0.001 for other comparisons). A higher number of C. jejuni without the CJIE1 prophage was also found in isolates from bovine manure (P = 0.027) compared with isolates from retail chicken breast. The carriage of CJIE1 and CJIE1 + ORF11 was significantly higher in C. coli in isolates from chicken than those from humans (P = 0.003). Other differences were noted but not tested for statistical significance because of the small numbers involved (Table 4).
