Identification of Possible Virulence Marker from Campylobacter jejuni Isolates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel protein translocation system, the type-6 secretion system (T6SS), may play a role in virulence of Campylobacter jejuni. We investigated 181 C. jejuni isolates from humans, chickens, and environmental sources in Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom for T6SS. The marker was most prevalent in human and chicken isolates from Vietnam.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of virulence and Cytolethal Distending Toxin (CDT) genes in the Campylobacter isolates from intestinal contents and gall bladders of broilers and, to evalute their cytotoxic effects on HeLa cell cultures. These genes play important roles in bacterial adherence to intestinal mucosa, flagella-mediated motility, invasive capability and the ab...

The objective of this study was to investigate the genotypic characteristics of Campylobacter isolates in Shiraz, Iran. A total of 40 Campylobacter isolates including 20 C. jejuni and 20 C. coli were recovered from both cattle and sheep faeces by cultivation methods. The isolates were identified on the basis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of 16SrRNA and multiplex PCR to determine ...

The occurrence of Campylobacter in poultry meat and subsequent antibiotic resistance profiles of the isolates were investigated. The prevalence of Campylobacter in 101 samples was 87.1%. Of these samples, 54.5% contained Campylobacter coli and 45.5% were contaminated with Campylobacter jejuni. Among the strains tested, resistance to ciprofloxacin and nalidixid acid was the most common, followed...
