An investigation of the prevalence of Campylobacter ureolyticus in a variety of animals led to
the identification of the strain CIT 045T, in the faeces of captive lion-tailed macaques
(Macaca silenus). Originally, believed to be Campylobacter ureolyticus based on the colony
morphology and positive urease test, analysis of 16S rRNA and hsp60 gene sequences of
this isolate revealed that the strain differs significantly from other species of the genus
Campylobacter described to date. Species-specific primers for 16S rRNA and hsp60 genes …
