BACKGROUND Campylobacter species are a significant cause of gastroenteritis among children worldwide. Conventional methods for detection of Campylobacter spp. based on cultural isolation and biochemical tests are cumbersome and time consuming. Because of their superior sensitivity and cost effectiveness, molecular methods are often used for identification of the pathogens. AIMS To evaluate di...

AIMS To obtain an overview of the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter in faeces of US dairy cows in 2002. METHODS AND RESULTS Faeces from 1435 cows, representing 96 dairy operations in 21 US states, were collected for the culture of Campylobacter. A total of 735 Campylobacter strains were isolated (51.2% positive samples) with 94 operations positive (97.9%) for Campylobac...

Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in industrialized countries, with poultry reservoir as the main source of infection. Nevertheless, a recent study on source attribution showed that cattle could be a source of human contamination in France (Thépault et al., 2017). However, few data are available on thermophilic Campylobacter epidemiology in cattle in France. The ai...

The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in retail beef, beef livers, and pork meats purchased from the Tulsa (OK, USA) area and to further characterize the isolates obtained through antimicrobial susceptibility testing. A total of 97 chilled retail beef (50 beef livers and 47 other cuts), and 100 pork samples were collected. T...

The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of campylobacteria including Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni (C. jejuni) and Campylobacter coli in human clinical samples and in samples from healthy individuals and to reevaluate the efficacies of conventional selective methods for isolation of Campylobacter spp. Two charcoal-based selective media, modified charcoal cefoperazone deox...

conclusions the high prevalence of tet (o) resistance gene along with new detection of tet (a) resistance gene in campylobacter spp. isolated from poultry carcasses revealed an extensive tetracycline resistance among campylobacter isolates from poultry in iran. it emphasized the need for cautious use of tetracycline in poultry production to decrease the extension of tetracycline-resistant campy...

background: campylobacter jejune and c. coli are recognized as the most common bacteriological causes of gastroenteritis in humans. in this study identification of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli from samples using pcr was explored. methods: detection was performed using diarrheal samples collected 8 from 117 children. the genomic dna of samples was extracted by phenol-chloroform me...

OBJECTIVE To describe antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in Campylobacter spp isolated from dairy cattle and farms managed organically and conventionally in the midwestern and northeastern United States. DESIGN Longitudinal study. SAMPLE POPULATION 128 farms. PROCEDURE Samples and data were collected every 2 months from August 2000 to October 2001. Fecal samples were collected from cal...

background: campylobacteriosis is one of the most commonbacterial intestinal disorders of humans in many countries.a wide range of domestic and wild bird species have been identifiedas natural reservoirs. objectives: the aim of this studywas to determine the campylobacter spp from pet birds andscreen the determined campylobacters for presence of virulencecytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes....

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 ...
