Identification of Virulence Genes in Campylobacter Jejuni and C. Coli Isolates by Pcr
نویسنده
چکیده
Using the PCR technique, the presence of the seven genotypic virulence markers of Campylobacter has been tested. It was found that all C. coli (92 strains) and C. jejuni (105 strains) possessed the flaA and cadF markers. Several strains were positive for the CDT toxin genes (76.6%, 85.3%, and 83.2% strains with the A, B, and C cdt gene variants, respectively). On the other hand, only 66.0% and 20.8% isolates had the iam and virB genes.

The objective of this study was to investigate the genotypic characteristics of Campylobacter isolates in Shiraz, Iran. A total of 40 Campylobacter isolates including 20 C. jejuni and 20 C. coli were recovered from both cattle and sheep faeces by cultivation methods. The isolates were identified on the basis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of 16SrRNA and multiplex PCR to determine ...

Background: Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are zoonotic bacteria which are frequently associated with human diarrhea. Sharing of the cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes in Campylobacter is common and is considered species specific. OBJECTIVES: In this study we focused on detecting the presence of cdt gene in C. jejuni and C. coli isolated from broilers, turkeys and quails of Ir...
