Is Campylobacter fetus subspecies venerealis infection a cause of reproductive failure in dairy cows in Iran?
Bovine genital campylobacteriosis is one of the most economically important diseases of dairy cattleresulting in lowered fertility, embryo mortality and abortion, repeated returns to service, reduced pregnancyrates and extended calving intervals. While the occurrence of repeat breeding syndrome and abortions arereported from many Iranian dairy cattle farms, little information is available regar...
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 کاملColonization and infection of athymic and euthymic germfree mice by Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.
Human clinical strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus colonized the gastrointestinal tracts of both athymic (nu/nu) and euthymic (+/nu) germfree mice (BALB/c). Viable Campylobacter spp. (10(9) to 10(10) CFU/g [dry weight] of cecum and colon contents) were isolated on day 3 after oral challenge, and similar large numbers of viable cells were evident at several inter...
متن کاملDifferentiation of the subspecies of Campylobacter fetus by genomic sizing.
Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus and C. fetus subsp. venerealis are currently differentiated by tolerance to glycine and by their epidemiology. Analysis of C. fetus DNA by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, after digestion with the restriction endonucleases SmaI and SalI, was used to differentiate between the subspecies. All strains presently identified as C. fetus subsp. fetus had a genomic siz...
متن کاملHuman Infections with New Subspecies of Campylobacter fetus
Campylobacter fetus subsp. testudinum subsp. nov. is a newly proposed subspecies of C. fetus with markers of reptile origin. We summarize epidemiologic information for 9 humans infected with this bacterium. All cases were in men, most of whom were of Asian origin. Infection might have been related to exposure to Asian foods or reptiles.
