Abstract
DNA was extracted from 50 human stool specimens using the QIAamp DNA stool minikit. PCR amplification was followed by post-PCR hybridization to DNA probes specific for the Campylobacter genus, Campylobacter jejuni, and Campylobacter coli in a colorimetric membrane assay. Thirty-two of 38 culture-positive specimens were PCR DNA probe positive for C jejuni. The assay is rapid and simple and can be applied to stool specimens for the detection of Campylobacter.
