Recovery of Resistant Thermophilic Campylobacters on Farm and Market Vegetables
نویسندگان
چکیده
Campylobacter are zoonotic pathogens that frequently cause diarrhoea in humans often surpassing salmonellosis and shigellosis with C. jejuni and C. coli species mostly implicated (EFSA, 2013; WHO, 2015). Consumption of undercooked meat is the main source of human infections and the most significant risk factor. Nevertheless, environmental routes such as faecally contaminated water serving as conduits for the dissemination of pathogens to foods of non-animal origin have been recognized (Kumar et al., 2001).

House flies (Musca domestica) as possible vectors of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni.
A total of 161 strains of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were isolated from house flies (Musca domestica). The carrier rates detected were 50.7% in flies captured on a chicken farm and 43.2% in flies from a piggery. The relative prevalences of Campylobacter coli, C. jejuni, and nalidixic acid-resistant thermophilic campylobacters were 90.1, 6.2, and 3.7%, respectively. The results indicate t...

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 ...

The prevalence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. was investigated in cattle on Washington State farms. A total of 350 thermophilic Campylobacter isolates were isolated from 686 cattle sampled on 15 farms (eight dairies, two calf rearer farms, two feedlots, and three beef cow-calf ranches). Isolate species were identified with a combination of phenotypic tests, hipO colony blot hybridization, a...
متن کاملThe epidemiology of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter.
Antibiotic resistance, particularly with the fluoroquinolones and macrolide antibiotics, has now emerged globally with thermophilic campylobacters, including Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli, giving rise to concerns about how these organisms have acquired such resistance characteristics, as well as consequences for human and animal treatment. This review examines (i) the clinical epidemiology o...
