Popis: The aim of this study is to describe an outbreak of diarrhea caused by Campylobacter jejuni in a primary school.Stool samples from five patients were cultured. Molecular typing of the isolated strains was performed using PCR-RFLP-flaA, PFGE and MLST.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.The results suggest that the causal strain had a common identity.
