Department of Pathology, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

A commercial latex agglutination test [Meritec-Campy (jcl), Meridian Diagnostics, Cincinnati, Ohio] was evaluated for identification of Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. laridis, and other Campylobacter isolates. The test had 100% sensitivity in detecting C. jejuni and C. coli but low sensitivity with C. laridis isolates. C. upsaliensis strains reacted with the test. The test had 100% specificity for 101 non-Campylobacter organisms.
