Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 260.94

This is a representative of the clonal population of Penner serotype O:41 GBS-associated Campylobacter strains from the Red Cross Children's Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. It has been associated with the acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) form of GBS, which is the most common form of GBS. This strain has been compared with HB93-13 in a previous study. It has been shown to express the GM1 ganglioside-like structure. This strain was chosen because it is part of the second known overrepresented serotype that is highly associated with GBS.
