Campylobacter Antimicrobial Drug Resistance among Humans, Broiler Chickens, and Pigs, France

چکیده
We describe isolates from human Campylobacter infection in the French population and the isolates' antimicrobial drug resistance patterns since 1986 and compare the trends with those of isolates from broiler chickens and pigs from 1999 through 2004. Among 5,685 human Campylobacter isolates, 76.2% were C. jejuni, 17.2% C. coli, and 5.0% C. fetus. Resistance to nalidixic acid increased from 8.2% in 1990 to 26.3% in 2004 (p < 10(-3)), and resistance to ampicillin was high over time. Nalidixic acid resistance was greater for C. coli (21.3%) than for C. jejuni (14.9%, p < 10(-3)). C. jejuni resistance to ciprofloxacin in broilers decreased from 31.7% in 2002 to 9.0% in 2004 (p = 0.02). The patterns of resistance to quinolones and fluoroquinolones were similar between 1999 and 2004 in human and broiler isolates for C. jejuni. These results suggest a potential benefit of a regulation policy limiting use of antimicrobial drugs in food animals.

A European survey of antimicrobial susceptibility among zoonotic and commensal bacteria isolated from food-producing animals.
OBJECTIVE To study antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria isolated from food animals in different countries using uniform methodology. METHODS Samples were taken at slaughter from chickens, pigs and cattle in four EU countries per host. Escherichia coli (indicator organism; n = 2118), Salmonella spp. (n = 271) and Campylobacter spp. (n = 1325) were isolated in national laboratories and...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in Campylobacter strains isolated from animals, foods, and humans in Spain in 1997-1998.
Colonization by Campylobacter strains was investigated in human, broiler, and pig fecal samples from 1997-1998, as well as in foods of animal origin, and antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out for these strains. Campylobacter strains were isolated in the foods of animal origin (55 of 101 samples; 54.4%), intestinal samples from broilers (85 of 105; 81%), and pigs (40 of 45; 88.9%). A...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility in thermophilic Campylobacter species isolated from pigs and chickens in South Africa.
Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading causes of sporadic food-borne bacterial disease in humans. In intensive poultry and pig rearing systems the use of oral antibiotics is essential to maintain health. Consequently, there is a high risk for the thermophilic Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli resident in the intestinal tract of food animals to develop resistance to commonly used antibiotics....

On 25 March, EFSA and ECDC jointly published 'The European Union Summary Report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from humans, animals and food 2012' [1]. The report features Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli indicator bacteria and Staphyloccus aureus. Salmonella and Campylobacter are the most common causes of zoonotic foodborne infections. According to the report,...

Campylobacter spp. are a leading cause of bacterial enteritis worldwide, including countries in Africa, and have been identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as one of the high priority antimicrobial resistant pathogens. However, at present there is little knowledge on the prevalence, molecular epidemiology or antimicrobial susceptibility of Campylobacter spp. isolates in Botswana, bo...
