The Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibilities of Thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in Commercial Layer Flocks

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. of slaughtered cattle and sheep in Shiraz, Iran

Althoughpoultry meat is considered as the main source for human Campylobacter infections,there is limited information about non-poultry sources. The present study was aimed to investigate the prevalence and the antibiotic resistance of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in fecal samples of the cattle and sheep in Shiraz, Iran. A total of 302fecal samples were obtained from clinic...

Economic cultivation of "thermophilic" Campylobacter spp.

Staphylococcus aureus in commercial breeder layer flocks

Four flocks of Layer breeders, consist of 28000 (7000 birds each) at 25 weeks of age, hatchery and one day old chicks were subjected to swab sampling in order to isolate Staphylococcus aureus during the period from May till June 2008. Results revealed that more than half of the overall swab samples were positive (52.04%). Different isolation rates were recorded between four flocks, ranging from...

Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. from cattle farms in Washington State.

The prevalence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. was investigated in cattle on Washington State farms. A total of 350 thermophilic Campylobacter isolates were isolated from 686 cattle sampled on 15 farms (eight dairies, two calf rearer farms, two feedlots, and three beef cow-calf ranches). Isolate species were identified with a combination of phenotypic tests, hipO colony blot hybridization, a...
