摘要
Campylobacter jejuni O:41 strains are found in association with Guillain-Barre syndrome in South Africa. Strains of this serotype collected over 17 pars were characterized by amplified fragment length polymorphism and flagellin typing to determine their clonal nature. Despite minor variation in GM1 expression, all of the strains were genetically indistinguishable, indicating that they are representative of a genetically stable clone.
