Identification of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli by gel electrophoresis of the outer membrane proteins.

abstract：:The ability to rapidly recognize Ebola virus infections is critical to quickly limit further spread of the disease. A rapid, sensitive, and specific laboratory diagnostic test is needed to confirm outbreaks of Ebola virus infection and to distinguish it from other diseases that can cause similar clinical symptoms.
