Introduction: The aim of this study is to describe an outbreak of diarrhea caused by Campylobacter jejuni in a primary school.
Methods: Stool samples from five patients were cultured. Molecular typing of the isolated strains was performed using PCR-RFLP-flaA, PFGE and MLST.
Results: Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from all five patients. Two of the five strains were available for typing. The DNA patterns of the two isolates were indistinguishable.
Conclusion: The results suggest that the causal strain had a common identity.
