Campylobacter species are the most common cause of bacterial food borne disease affecting humans in both developed and developing countries [1]. It is estimated that 400 to 500 million cases of Campylobacter enteritis occur annually around the world [2]. Endocarditis, reactive arthritis, hemolytic uremic syndrome and septicemia are the complications that are occasionally seen [2,3]. Rare compli...

Hansson, I. 2007. Bacteriological and Epidemiological Studies of Campylobacter spp. in Swedish Broilers Doctoral dissertation ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7362-6 Campylobacter jejuni is the most frequently reported cause of bacterial gastrointestinal illness in humans in Sweden. Chicken products are considered an important risk factor for human infection. This thesis analyses and identifies ...

Background Campylobacter infection is the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in developing countries, as demonstrated by a previous study in Madagascar. Campylobacter is endemic to developing countries and Campylobacter infections seem to lead to the development of protective immunity. We tested this hypothesis in a rural setting in Madagascar, by exploring the association between i...

diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death in children under five years old in the world. in developing countries such as iran, children under three years old experience on average three episode of diarrhea every year. diarrhea is usually a symptom of an infection in the intestinal tract which can be caused by variety of bacterial, viral, and parasitic organism. campylobacter one of...

INTRODUCTION The critical role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) is well recognized, but an individual causative microorganism has not been singled out so far. Campylobacter concisus and other non-jejuni species of Campylobacter have been implicated as putative aetiological agents in inflammatory bowel disease in children, but such studies have not been addressed in adu...

BACKGROUND Campylobacter species are the major food-borne pathogens which could cause bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Contaminated chicken products have been recognized as the primary vehicles of Campylobacter transmission to human beings. In this study, the prevalence of Campylobacter in retail chicken meat in Central China was investigated, and the isolates were further characterized usi...

This study aimed to identify the sources and routes of transmission of Campylobacter in intensively reared poultry farms in the Republic of Ireland. Breeder flocks and their corresponding broilers housed in three growing facilities were screened for the presence of Campylobacter species from November 2006 through September 2007. All breeder flocks tested positive for Campylobacter species (with...

A study was conducted of 32 broiler flocks on eight different farms, belonging to four major U.S. producers. The farms were studied over I complete calendar year. Overall, 28 (87.5%) of the flocks became Campylobacter positive, and only four (12.5%) remained negative throughout the 6- to 8-week rearing period. In the majority of flocks, sampled every 2 weeks throughout production, Campylobacter...

Campylobacter is a food-borne zoonotic pathogen that causes human gastroenteritis worldwide. Campylobacter bacteria are commensal in the intestines of many food production animals, including ducks and chickens. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter species in domestic ducks, and the agar dilution method was used to determine resistance of the isolates to ei...

Studies have suggested that flies play a linking role in the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. in broiler chickens and that fly screens can reduce the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. We examined the year-round and long-term effects of fly screens in 10 broiler chicken houses (99 flocks) in Denmark. Prevalence of Campylobacter spp.-positive flocks was significantly reduced, from 41.4% during 2...
