Toxin production by Campylobacter spp.
Of all the virulence factors that were proposed for Campylobacter jejuni and related species to cause disease in humans, the discovery of toxin production was the most promising but led to a rather confusing and even disappointing stream of data. The discussion of whether proteinaceous exotoxins are relevant in disease remains open. One important reason for this lack of consensus is the anecdot...
متن کاملInvestigation of Virulence-Associated genes and Cytolethal Distending Toxin Production in Campylobacter spp. isolated from broilers
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of virulence and Cytolethal Distending Toxin (CDT) genes in the Campylobacter isolates from intestinal contents and gall bladders of broilers and, to evalute their cytotoxic effects on HeLa cell cultures. These genes play important roles in bacterial adherence to intestinal mucosa, flagella-mediated motility, invasive capability and the ab...
متن کاملBacteraemia caused by Campylobacter spp.
The genus Campylobacter has become increasingly recognised as the cause of various infections. Campylobacter jejuni and C coli cause acute gastroenteritis in man all over the world. C jejuni enteritis can lead to bacteraemia, but its actual incidence remains unknown. Seven cases of bacteraemia caused by C jejuni or C coli are reported, from the blood of seven patients: five immune deficient adu...
متن کاملOccurrence of Campylobacter Spp. in Romanian Broiler Chicken Production Sector
Due to the well-known potential of Campylobacter spp. to determine illness in humans, its detection and occurrence, especially in poultry meat (due to the frequent contamination of this food product) are considered highly important for the consumer’s health point of view. In order to determine the occurrence of Campylobacter spp. in the Romanian broiler chicken production sector, a number of fi...
