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...

Althoughpoultry meat is considered as the main source for human Campylobacter infections,there is limited information about non-poultry sources. The present study was aimed to investigate the prevalence and the antibiotic resistance of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in fecal samples of the cattle and sheep in Shiraz, Iran. A total of 302fecal samples were obtained from clinic...

background pet birds may carry human infectious agents and some of these can be transmitted to people. campylobacter bacteria are the most common bacteria that cause gastroenteritis worldwide. considering people's interests to keep pet birds and the potential ability of pet birds to transmit campylobacter to humans, the present study was conducted to evaluate campylobacter infection in shahreko...

Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food poising in humans. Rapid and specific detection of these bacteria has an important role in diagnosis and treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to design a specific PCR for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: In this experimental study, oxidoreductase gene from the Campylobacter jejuni was sele...

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...

The genus Campylobacter  is of great importance to public health because it includes several species that may cause diarrhoea. Poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, during the autumn months of 2005, a total of 100 samples from poultry carcasses, representing 20 broiler flocks were obtained by rinse test, after the chilling stage ...

BACKGROUND: Campylobacteriosis is one of the most commonbacterial intestinal disorders of humans in many countries.A wide range of domestic and wild bird species have been identifiedas natural reservoirs. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this studywas to determine the Campylobacter spp from pet birds andscreen the determined Campylobacters for presence of virulencecytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes....

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 ...

results all 90 campylobacter isolates confirmed by m-pcr were successfully typed using flaa-pcr-rflp. eleven different types were defined according to flaa-typing method and the rflp patterns were located at three separate clusters in rflp image analysis dendrogram. conclusions campylobacter jejuni isolates significantly showed more variety than c. coli isolates. a relatively low genetic divers...
