Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni/coli strains from hens and humans were compared f or their ability to adhere to and invade HEp-2-cells and for toxigenic ity to CHO-cells. In both hen and human strains, invasiveness was high er among nontoxigenic strains than among toxigenic ones. The frequency of adherence, invasiveness, and toxigenicity was the same in hen and human strains.
