因为到Colindale传染病监视中的报告弯曲杆菌感染是从1977年开始,与感染的猫有关的弯曲杆菌性肠炎的报导只有3篇。与此相比,在同一时期中有97篇报导提到狗可作为一种可能的感染源,弯曲杆菌从这些狗中被分离出来61次。与猫有关的感染之所以稀少可能只是反映了从猫获得标本的困难性。在2例与猫相关的感染中受害者是幼年儿童,曾直接接触过家庭中患有腹泻的小猫。其中1例与Svedhem等报导一样,弯曲杆菌从小猫与患者中被配对地分离出来,在此例中意味着他们有相同的生物属型和同样 Because Campylobacter infections reported to Colindale Infectious Disease Surveillance have been reported since 1977, there are only 3 reported Campylobacter Infections associated with infected cats. In contrast, 97 articles of the same period referred to dogs as a possible source of infection and Campylobacter was isolated from these dogs 61 times. Few cat infections may simply reflect the difficulty of obtaining specimens from cats. The victims of cat-related infections were young children who had had direct contact with kittens who had diarrhea in their families. One of the cases, as reported by Svedhem et al., Is that Campylobacter is paired from the kitten to the patient, which in this case means that they have the same biological profile and the same
