Abstract SeventeenCampylobacter strains isolated from 16 children hospitalised with acute diarrhea were analysed by in vitro enzymatic amplification using two sets of oligonucleotide primers specific forCampylobacter jejuni andCampylobacter coli, respectively. Thirteen strains (76 %) were identified asCampylobacter jejuni and four strains (24 %) asCampylobacter coli. Subsequent bacteriological identification confirmed the identity of the same 13Campylobacter jejuni strains and the 4Campylobacter coli strains. Thus, these PCR methods enabled rapid and specific detection of all theCampylobacter jejuni andCampylobacter coli strains without any false-positive or false-negative results.
