Campylobacter strains from Swedish patients with diarrhoea. Distribution of serotypes over a five year period.

Serotyping, HS antigen and HL antigen, was performed on 105 Campylobacter jejuni/coli isolates from the same number of consequtive patients seeking medical attention for diarrhoea. The results were compared to a similar study performed five years earlier. It was found that there were only minor differences in frequency of the serotypes commonly isolated during the two different periods.
