Abstract
A Campylobacter fetus strain was isolated from an abdominal aortic ane urysm in a 56-year-old man who had no significant chronic illness exce pt arteriosclerosis. The strain was identified on the basis of the usu al taxonomic markers and fatty acid profiles. The patient's immunologi cal status regarding Campylobacter fetus was studied by Western blot. The strong immune response observed against the 99 kDa protein of the strain confirms that the S-layer protein is the immunodominant antigen of Campylobacter fetus.
