چکیده
Campylobacter jejuni is a pathogenic bacterium that causes human foodborne gastroenteritis [1]. In the United States, Campylobacter is responsible for an estimated 2.1-2.4 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year [2-4] resulting in 13,000 hospitalizations, 100 deaths and an estimated cost of over $1 billion annually [3,5]. FoodNet [6] reported that the number of infections and incidence of Campylobacter per 100,000 persons were 6,621 and 13.82 respectively in 2013. Of these infected persons, 1,010 (15%) were hospitalized and 12 (0.2%) died from contaminated food [6].

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...

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne diarrhea in many countries. Poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, conventional culture and multiplex PCR methods were compared for the detection of C. jejuni isolated from poultry carcasses. A total of 100 samples, representing 20 broiler flocks, were collected from poultry carc...

The genetic diversity of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coliisolates from commercial broiler farms was examined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), with an assessment of the impact of the sample type and laboratory method on the genotypes of Campylobacter isolated. A total of 645C. jejuniand 106C. coli isolates were obtained from 32 flocks and 17 farms, with 47 sequence types (STs) id...

In this study, we investigated the effects of different feed structures and beddings on the spread of C. jejuni in broiler flocks, and the effect on the cecal microbiota. Broiler chickens raised in 24 eight-bird group cages on either rubber mat or wood shavings were fed either a wheat-based control diet (Control), a diet where 50% of the ground wheat was replaced by whole wheat prior to pelleti...
