background: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of virulence-associated genes and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus pcr (eric-pcr) analysis of campylobacter spp. isolated from children with diarrhea in iran. methods: a total of 200 stool specimens were obtained from children under 5 years during july 2012 to july 2013. detection of c. jejuni and c. coli was perfo...

background: campylobacter jejune and c. coli are recognized as the most common bacteriological causes of gastroenteritis in humans. in this study identification of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli from samples using pcr was explored. methods: detection was performed using diarrheal samples collected 8 from 117 children. the genomic dna of samples was extracted by phenol-chloroform me...

wild cage birds can be carriers of some human pathogens 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 wild cage birds and the potential ability of wild cage birds to transmit campylobacter to humans, the present study was conducted to evaluate campylobacter inf...

background: food infections caused by campylobacter are one of the gastrointestinal inflammations in humans is health and economic losses in the community is important. objectives: to determine the prevalence of campylobacter contamination in chicken skin samples of urmia, using bacterial culture and polymerase chain reactions.                 methods: 80 samples of chicken skin from the protei...

Although, many genes are involved in pathogenesis of Campylobacter, racR gene considered the main gene for Campylobacter pathogenicity in humans. The purpose of this study was determined the prevalence of recR gene in Campylobacter spp. isolated from domestic animals and water. To perform the study 392 fecal and water samples were collected from poultry(182), cow(141), sheep and goat(41) and w...

Background: Campylobacter infections may lead to serious conditions, including septicemia or other invasive forms of the disease, which require rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis and subsequently appropriate antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the species distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Campylobacter spp. strains isolated from patients and f...

campylobacteriosis is an important infectious disease of animals and humans caused by the pathogenic campylobacter species. a total number of 132 aborted sheep fetuses and related placentas were admitted to the large animal clinic at the university of tabriz, from october 2010 to march 2011. tissue samples were collected from several fetal organs including liver, brain, kidney, lung, spleen, he...

Background: Campylobacter is recognized as a major cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in humans in many countries and may be transferred from animals to humans. The consumption of chicken meat is identified as a major cause of Campylobacter infection in humans. Aims: To find out the contamination rate of chicken meat with Campylobacter</em...
