Abstract

The incubation of Campylobacter jejuni in aerobic conditions results in transformation of spiral cells into coccoid form. It is shown in presented paper that the assay of coccoid of C. jejuni with PCR is limited. Its detectability decreases with the increase of time and temperature of cell storage.
