Septic abortion with intact fetal membranes caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.
We report a case of septic abortion with intact fetal membranes caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus in an 18-year-old woman who was 9 1/2 weeks pregnant.
متن کاملRole of S-layer protein antigenic diversity in the immune responses of sheep experimentally challenged with Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.
Surface layer proteins (SLPs) are essential for induction of abortion by Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus in experimentally challenged ewes. These proteins are encoded by multiple sap genes and vary in size and antigenicity. The role of SLP antigenic variation during experimental ovine infection was investigated. Following subcutaneous challenge, the SLPs were highly antigenic, and antibodies w...
متن کاملAn outbreak of abortion in Afshari sheep with probable involvement of Campylobacter fetus
BACKGROUND:Abortion is one of the most important factorsreducing lambing rate and consequently profitability of sheepfarms. In addition to financial losses, it is also important from azoonotic point of view. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study wasto investigate bacterial abortifacient agents in an outbreak ofabortion occurring in Afshari sheep in the northwest of Zanjanprovince. METHODS:Vaginal s...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of 59 strains of Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.
The susceptibilities of 59 Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus isolates to eight antibiotics were studied by the agar dilution, E-test, and disk diffusion methods. None of the isolates were beta-lactamase producers. All were susceptible to ampicillin, gentamicin, imipenem, and meropenem as determined by the three methods, with MICs at which 90% of the isolates are inhibited (MIC90s) (determined by...
متن کاملIsolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus from a patient with cellulitis.
Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus is a gram-negative, slender, spirally curved bacterial pathogen. It has been isolated from human blood, spinal fluid, and abscesses, but cellulitis associated with bacteremia is rare. We report its isolation from a blood culture of a human patient with cellulitis as well as difficulties encountered in determining the identity of the subspecies of C. fetus.
