abstract

conclusions campylobacter is responsible for some important clinical problems such as enteritis and is also associated with meningitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. it is imperative to monitor the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of campylobacter spp. as well as other the zoonotic bacteria. results twelve (10%) campylobacter spp. from 120 stool samples were isolated including c. coli and c. jejuni. in the antibiotic susceptibility test, the most frequent resistance was observed to ciprofloxacin 8 (88.8%), followed by 7 (77.7%) resistant strains to tetracycline, 7 (77.7%) to erythromycin, 6 (66.6%) to clindamycin, 5 (55.5%) to meropenem, 4 (44.4%) to gentamicin, 3 (33.3%) to nalidixicacid and only 1 (11.1%) to chloramphenicol. patients and methods a total of 120 stool samples from children less than 10 years old were examined from january 2013 to december 2014 in hamadan, iran. the samples were incubated in campy-thio enrichment medium for 1 - 2 hours and then cultured on a specific medium; after that, the suspected colonies were analyzed for campylobacter spp. identification by conventional tests. the identified species by biochemical methods were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk agar diffusion (dad) method. background enteritis caused by campylobacter is considered as the most common acute bacterial diarrhea around the world. in most cases, infection occurs as a result of consuming contaminated water or food, especially raw meat of fowls. objectives the purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of campylobacter species among pediatrics of hamadan city, iran.

Prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni in Diarrhea samples in Gorgan ,East north of Iran

Abstract Background and Objectives: Diarrhea is one of the most common diseases in the world. Campylobacter jejuni is one of the prevalent agents of bacterial diarrhea in most of developing countries. It is usually ignored in routine laboratory test in our country, because it has a difficult investigation method. This article aims to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni, in diarrhea...

The prevalence of campylobacter jejuni induced gastroenteritis in patients with diarrhea referring to Mean Reza hospital in Mashhad,Iran

  The ever- increasing importance of campylobacter jejuni infectious is due to its associations with severe diarrhoea , especially in children. In order to determine the bacterial etiology of gastroenteritis, we cultured the stool of 903 patients over 10 months from April 1993 to February 1994. In this study, campylobacter jejuni, salmonella and Shigella were isolated from 19,29 and 16 patient...

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...
