Abstract
Six suspensions of non-culturable Campylobacter spp. were administered by gavage to day-of-hatch chicks. Four non-culturable isolates of Cam pylobacter spp. were found to colonize low numbers (5/79) of 1-week-ol d chicks, while two isolates did not (0/30). The original and recovere d Campylobacter spp. isolates were serotyped and examined by restricti on enzyme analysis. Evidence of clonality of two Camp. jejuni isolates was demonstrated.
