Campylobacter genus bacteria causing campylobacteriasis are difficult to culture. This fact necessitates creation of special approaches to studies of the behavior of these pathogens during the manufacture and storage of foodstuffs. The regularities of Campylobacter jejuni transition into an uncultivable state are studied under conditions simulating the process of immersion cooling of fresh poultry products. The proportion of viable colony-forming (CFU) cells to the total count of planktonic and uncultivable cells in the population was calculated by the level of genomic DNA in the samples evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR with intercalating dyes. PCR was carried out with primers detecting the cytolethal toxin subunit B gene cdtB and invasion gene ciaB in C. jejuni strains. The count of detected cells was 5-10-fold higher than the count of CFU; the cultural method failed to detect the agent in 40% analyzed samples of superficially infected products, while the level of uncultivable cells detected by PCR was significantly higher. The relationship between culturing conditions and formation of C. jejuni biofilms was studied. The most intensive formation of film exomatrix was observed under unfavorable conditions for this microorganism at 25oC. In microaerophilic gaseous medium, weak formation of films and intensive growth of C. jejuni populations were observed. Culturing at higher temperatures (37-42oC) was in fact inessential for the film formation process.
