Revealing the Large Proportion of Michigan Campylobacter jejuni Infections
A new study has revealed that a large proportion of Campylobacter jejuni infections in Michigan are caused by a single type of bacteria. The findings, published in the journal mBio, suggest that a single source may be responsible for a large number of infections in the state.
The researchers found that a single strain of Campylobacter jejuni (CJ-MI-1) accounted for a large proportion of infections in Michigan. They also discovered that the strain had a wide geographic range and could be found in samples from both urban and rural areas. The authors suggest that this strain may be responsible for a significant proportion of infections in the state.
