The Effects of Sulfadimethoxine Administered to Control Campylobacter jejuni in Small-Scale Broiler Operations
Campylobacter jejuni is a pathogenic bacterium that causes human foodborne gastroenteritis [1]. In the United States, Campylobacter is responsible for an estimated 2.1-2.4 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year [2-4] resulting in 13,000 hospitalizations, 100 deaths and an estimated cost of over $1 billion annually [3,5]. FoodNet [6] reported that the number of infections and incidence o...
متن کاملThe Role of Campylobacter Jejuni in Campylobacteriosis
Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram negative, curved, motile, thermophilic and microaerophilic bacillus in Campylobacteriaceae family, which is one of the main causes of enteritis in human named campylobacteriosis. The main reservoir of Campylobacter jejuni is the alimentary tract of animals, especially chicken and turkey. Consumption of semi-cooked chicken meat, raw milk and unchlorinated water are...
متن کاملQuantifying transmission of Campylobacter jejuni in commercial broiler flocks.
Since meat from poultry colonized with Campylobacter spp. is a major cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, human exposure should be reduced by, among other things, prevention of colonization of broiler flocks. To obtain more insight into possible sources of introduction of Campylobacter into broiler flocks, it is essential to estimate the moment that the first bird in a flock is colonized. If the...
متن کاملStudy on the epidemiology and control of Campylobacter jejuni in poultry broiler flocks.
Broiler flocks are frequently infected with Campylobacter jejuni. The origin of the infection is still unclear. The question of whether colonization of flocks results from transmission of C. jejuni from breeder flocks to progeny (vertical transmission) or from environmental sources (horizontal transmission) remains to be answered. Therefore, in this study samples were taken from successive broi...
متن کاملDetection of cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) Genes in Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from the intestinal of commercial broiler chickens, turkey and quail of Iran
Background: Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are zoonotic bacteria which are frequently associated with human diarrhea. Sharing of the cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes in Campylobacter is common and is considered species specific. OBJECTIVES: In this study we focused on detecting the presence of cdt gene in C. jejuni and C. coli isolated from broilers, turkeys and quails of Ir...
