Investigation of Helicobacter pullorum Occurence in Chicken in the Marmara Region of Turkey
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was to investigate the incidence of Helicobacter pullorum in caecum and colon of 96 broiler chickens. All samples were obtained from different commercial broiler slaughtering facilities in Marmara region of Turkey. The presence of H. pullorum was assessed by conventional culture method and specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. H. pullorum were not isolated from any of the samples. In contrast, H. pullorum DNA was detected by PCR in 55.21% (53/96) of the samples. Also, it was indicated that caecum was commonly infected than colon. The results showed that H. pullorum is present in Marmara region of Turkey. Further studies are needed to identify the risk factors for the presence of H. pullorum for human health.

Meat and meat products are important sources of human intestinal infections. We report the isolation of Helicobacter pullorum strains from chicken meat. Bacteria were isolated from 4 of the 17 analyzed fresh chicken meat samples, using a membrane filter method. MIC determination revealed that the four strains showed acquired resistance to ciprofloxacin; one was also resistant to erythromycin, a...

A total of 200 fetuses were collected from aborted sheep belonging to 200 herds in different locations in the eastern part of Turkey. Foetal organ ...
متن کاملA novel real-time PCR assay for the detection of Helicobacter pullorum-like organisms in chicken products.
A novel real-time PCR assay was developed for the direct detection in food of Helicobacter pullorum-like bacteria, which are occasionally associated with human enteric disease. Experiments using control strains showed that the realtime PCR assay was specific and reproducible, with a detection level of 1 colony-forming unit (CFU)/g. The assay was then applied to determine contamination rates in ...
