A 5 year longitudinal study involving 187 commercially reared beagles from three suppliers was undertaken to determine prevalence and serotypes of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli. Campylobacter jejuni or C. coli was isolated from the feces in 62 of 177 asymptomatic beagles and 8 of 10 dogs with diarrhea for an overall prevalence of 37%. A total of 36 isolates were serotyped on the basis of thermostable antigens with 20 antisera prepared against frequently occurring serotypes isolated from humans with campylobacter associated enteritis (15 C. jejuni, 5 C. coli serotypes). Of these isolates, 17 (47%) serotyped with antisera to 7 C. jejuni serotypes frequently isolated in human cases of enteric campylobacteriosis (serotypes 1, 4, 10, 16, 18, 19, 37). One C. coli reacted to antisera 24, 34, 37, one strain of C. coli to antisera type 37, and another C. coli to antisera type 34. All three C. coli belonged to serotypes frequently encountered in diarrheic human patients.
