Campylobacteriosis is an important zoonotic disease and the prevalence of Campylobacter is largely unknown in the wildlife of India. A total of 370 samples, comprising of 314 fresh faecal samples from apparently healthy captive wild animals and birds, 30 stool swabs from animal care takers and 26 samples of the animals’ food and water were collected from G. B. Pant High Altitude Zoo, Nainital, ...

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. isolated from dogs' faecal samples. From June 2012 to June 2013, a total of 210 faecal samples from pet dogs living in different kennels (n = 210) were collected by the owners in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poznań District, Poland. The study revealed that 105 out of 210 faecal samples (50%) contained Campylobacter. The h...

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Campylobacter spp. in packed frozen poultry giblets available for the consumers at Bulgarian retail market. The assayed samples included 58 packets of livers, 55 packets of gizzards and 40 packets of hearts, from different retail shops. The obtained results showed that Campylobacter spp. was isolated in 15.5%, 41.8% and 22.5% of the sampl...

Over the last two decades, Campylobacter has emerged as the most commonly reported cause of bacterial enteritis in humans in the UE and most other developed countries. Campylobacter spp. contamination of chicken carcasses is common, and poultry is generally recognised to play a significant role in human Campylobacter spp. infection. Campylobacteriosis remains the most frequently reported zoonot...

Two-component signal transduction systems are commonly composed of a sensor histidine kinase and a cognate response regulator, modulating gene expression in response to environmental changes through a phosphorylation-dependent process. CosR is an OmpR-type response regulator essential for the viability of Campylobacter jejuni, a major foodborne pathogenic species causing human gastroenteritis. ...

The prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of Campylobacter spp. isolates from bovine feces were compared between organic and conventional dairy herds. Thirty organic dairy herds, where antimicrobials are rarely used for calves and never used for cows, were compared with 30 neighboring conventional dairy farms, where antimicrobials were routinely used for animals for all ages. Fecal spec...

the major purpose of this study was isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of thermophilic campylobacter spp. from different sources including domestic animals (cow, sheep, horses), poultry, river water and sewage in tonekabon. campylobacter spp. was isolated using prêt-kb method and identified by phenotyping tests. antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against differ...

In this study, the microbiological quality of household tap water samples fed from rainwater tanks was assessed by monitoring the numbers of Escherichia coli bacteria and enterococci from 24 households in Southeast Queensland (SEQ), Australia. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was also used for the quantitative detection of zoonotic pathogens in water samples from rainwater tanks and connected household ...

Introduction. Campylobacter is one of the leading bacterial causes of food-borne disease. The prevalence of Campylobacter species resistant to antimicrobial agents is increasing. This study is intended to determine prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Campylobacter species among under-five children with diarrhea. Methodology. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 227 un...

The presence of Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. in rodents and insectivores (n = 282) was investigated on organic farms. Infections were encountered in house mice (8 of 83 Campylobacter positive and 1 of 83 Salmonella sp. strain Livingstone positive) and brown rats (1 of 8 Campylobacter positive) but not in other species. No shared Campylobacter genotypes were found between rodent and pig man...
