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 ...

There is constant necessity of developing the accurate and fast methods for detection foodborne pathogens. Microorganisms Campylobacter genus are one main causes diseases worldwide. Fast identification at all stages food life cycle an efficient strategy to control campylobacteriosis. This article authors evaluated a commercial loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) system with biolumines...

Based on Campylobacter 16S- and 23S-rRNA sequence data oligonucleotide probes specific for thermotolerant campylobacters and for members of the genus Campylobacter have been developed. The 16S-rRNA-targeted probe CAMP 653, recommended for a comprehensive detection of members of the genus Campylobacter, specifically detected all Campylobacter strains used in this study. Detection of thermotolera...

Fluoroquinolone and macrolide antibiotics are generally considered as first-line drugs for the treatment of severe campylobacteriosis. This study was conducted to analyse the trend of erythromycin and ofloxacin resistance among Campylobacter spp. isolated from stool specimens over a period of 15 years (1992-2007) at The Aga Khan University clinical laboratory in Karachi, Pakistan. A total of 83...

The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of 62 Campylobacter spp. strains obtained from broiler flocks using the agar diffusion method. The Campylobacter spp strains were isolated from 22 flocks aged between 3 and 5 weeks of life, isolated from cloacae swabs, stools and cecal droppings in the farm and from the carcass rinsing in the slaughterhouse. Campylobacter spp ...

The aim of this study is to compare the occurrence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in chicken retail at wet markets and hypermarkets. Campylobacter contaminations in chicken samples from wet market (70.7%) were comparatively lower than chicken samples sold in hypermarket (91.4%). Of the 77 Campylobacter isolates, 59 (76.6%) were identified as Campylobacter jejuni and 18 (23.4%) isolates were...

UNLABELLED Campylobacter spp. are the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, and water is increasingly seen as a risk factor in transmission. Here we describe a most-probable-number (MPN)-quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay in which water samples are centrifuged and aliquoted into microtiter plates and the bacteria are enumerated by qPCR. We observed that commonly used Campylobacter mo...

In the present study, a cross-sectional survey of intestinal parasitic and bacterial infections in relation to diarrhoea in Vhembe district and the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of isolated bacterial pathogens was conducted. Stool samples were collected from 528 patients attending major public hospitals and 295 children attending two public primary schools and were analyzed by standard ...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli was determined in goat and goat meat sold at retail outlets in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). METHODOLOGY A total of 644 samples, including 177 goat meat, 86 goat stomachs, 139 ready to eat (RTE) goat skewers, and 242 goat faecal samples were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Cam...
