Abstract

Of 46 broiler chickens from a live poultry market in New York City, 38 (83%) harbored Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in their rectal flora. The observed mean number of C. fetus per g of feces was 4.4 x 10(6). The organisms survived in the feces for at least 96 h at 4 degrees C whether stored in the gut or transferred to a vial. The best survival medium for pure cultures of C. fetus subsp.jejuni was heart infusion broth supplemented with sterile blood and kept in a microaerophilic atmosphere.
