Genetic studies of kanamycin resistance in Campylobacter jejuni.
Campylobacter jejuni 3H40 and 4B20 harbored 59-kilobase (kb) self-transmissible plasmids encoding resistance to kanamycin and tetracycline. Although the two antibiotic resistances were more frequently inherited together, some transconjugants and ethidium bromide segregants which were resistant to only one of these antibiotics were recovered. The kanamycin-susceptible, tetracycline-resistant seg...
متن کاملResistance mechanisms in Campylobacter jejuni
Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne gastroenteritis worldwide. While mortality is low, morbidity imparted by post-infectious sequelae such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Reiter syndrome/reactive arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome is significant. In addition, the economic cost is high due to lost productivity. Food animals, particularly poultry, are the main reservoirs of C. jej...
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 کاملHost-associated Genetic Import in Campylobacter jejuni
Host association of Campylobacter jejuni was analyzed by using multilocus sequence typing data for 713 isolates from chickens and bovids (cattle and sheep). Commonly used summary measures of genotypes (sequence type and clonal complex) showed poor accuracy, but a method using the full allelic profile showed 80% accuracy in distinguishing isolates from these 2 host groups. We explored the biolog...
متن کاملTetracycline resistance of Australian Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates.
OBJECTIVES Tetracycline resistance in Campylobacter is encoded by the tet(O) gene and is usually associated with conjugative plasmids. Little was known about tetracycline resistance in Australian Campylobacter species, therefore we investigated this resistance in 41 Campylobacter jejuni and five Campylobacter coli strains from humans and healthy chickens. METHODS Tetracycline MICs were determ...
