Summary
Campylobacter jejuni 79-193 penetrates the inner, outer membrane and ultimately the contents of cracked eggs more at 4°C (after equilibration at 42°C for 10 min) than at 42°C or 25°C. The number of eggs showing penetration byC. jejuni decreased with time.
Résumé
Campylobacter jejuni pénètre les membranes externe, interne et finalement le contenu d'oeux félés davantage à 4°C (après équilibration à 42°C pendant 10 min.) qu'à 25 ou 42°C. Le nombre d'oeux montrant la pénétration parC. jejuni décroît avec le temps.
