Adobe Acrobat XI Pro was used to OCR the text and also for the merging and conversion to the final presentation PDF-format.Using specific antisera prepared against heat-treated and untreated cells in a microtitre system, 7 strains of Campylobacter fetus venerealis were examined for the presence of K-antigen. The technique was effective for distinguishing between strains and it was found that 4 out of 7 isolates contained microcapsules, therefore being potentially suitable for vaccine production.en©ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©University of Pretoria.
