Despite the efforts of the international community diarrheal diseases still pose a major threat to children in children less than five years of age. Bacterial diarrhea has also emerged as a public health concern due to the proliferation of drug resistant species in many parts of the world. There is a paucity of population-based data about the incidence of shigellosis and Campylobacter infections in Pakistan. We report country specific results for Shigella diarrhea that were derived from a multicenter study conducted in six Asian countries. Disease surveillance was conducted over a 24 month period in urban slums of Karachi, Pakistan, a city with a population of 59,584. Cases were detected through passive detection in study treatment centers. Stool specimens or rectal swabs were collected from all consenting patients. Between January 2002 and December 2003 10,540 enteric infection cases were detected. The incidence rate of treated diarrhea in children under 5 was 488/1000/year. In children, 5 years and older, the diarrhea rate was 22/1000/year. 576 (7%) Campylobacter isolates were detected. The pre-dominant Campylobacter species was C. jenuni with an increase of 29/1000 year in children under 5 years. Shigella species were isolated from 394 of 8032 children under 5 years of age. Shigella flexneri was the dominant species (10/1000/year in children under 5 years) followed by Shigella sonnei (3.9/1000/year), Shigella boydii (2.0/1000/year) and Shigella dysenteriae (1.3/1000/year). Shigellosis and Campylobacter infection rates peaked during the second year of life. The incidence rate of shigellosis increased in old age but such a trend was not observed in Campylobacter infections. Of 394 shigellosis patients 123 (31%) presented with dysentery in contrast to only 54 (9%) of 576 patients with Campylobacter infections (p<0.001). Both Campylobacter infections and shigellosis are common in community settings of Pakistan but shigellosis presented more frequently with abdominal pain and dysentery than Campylobacter infections indicating that shigellosis may be a more severe illness than Campylobacter infections. Due to the increased and disease severity, drug resistant shigella have become a significant health problem; moreover it is a disease of poor and impoverished people who do not have the access to standard water and sanitary conditions, health care services or optimal treatment. In the face of these facts it is empirically important to develop a low cost effective vaccine that can protect these populations for a longer duration.

“…Acute Diarrhea Disease is one of the four principal causes of child mortality in the world and one of three that has been related to climate change (Murga et al, 1993;MINSA, 2015). In the Americas, it has been estimated that 112 000 annual deaths are caused by diarrheal diseases (WHO, 1999).…”

Keywords: database -genome-wide analysis -phylogenetics -proteinProteins are important in phylogenetics because they show conservation, not only in their sequence, but also in their functions and the properties of their different substructures due to residue or amino acid family conservation. The analysis of the set of data from a great number of proteins will show us properties that have been the driving force of species diversification. Here, we present a phylogenetic method for constructing cladograms using TaxPlot data. We constructed a cladogram using the UPGMA method using the total hits obtained from all the combinations of TaxPlot previously transformed into percentages of similarity. This cladogram based on the similarity of bacterial proteomes presents a large similarity with the relations that exist for the analyzed organisms based on conserved sequences.

“…La dosis infectiva en el humano es baja (Robinson, 1981) y las secuelas de la infección son potencialmente serias. En el Perú, el C. jejuni tiene un importante rol como agente etiológico causante de diarrea aguda acuosa en niños (Murga et al 1993; Perales et al, 2002;Oberhelman et al, 2003).…”

“…Por ello, las investigaciones recientes están dirigidas a entender la forma de transmisión del Campylobacter en la cadena de alimentos para consumo humano. En el Perú se dispone de estudios que señalan la presencia de C. jejuni como causante de enfermedades gastroentéricas en la población susceptible (Murga et al, 1993;Perales et al, 2002;Oberhelman et al, 2003), aunque aún no se ha dimensionado el real problema en la Salud Pública en la región (Fernández, 2011). Para poder evaluar el riesgo de contraer una infección a través de la carne de pollo, se precisa primeramente determinar la presencia del patógeno.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la presencia de Campylobacter spp en canales y ciegos de pollos de engorde comercializados en Lima Metropolitana a través de tres centros de beneficio clandestino. Se muestrearon 90 aves, obteniendo 30 muestras de ciego y 60 muestras de enjuagues de canales. Las muestras fueron sembradas directamente en medio selectivo mCCDA, a 42 °C por 48 h en atmósfera microaerofílica y se usaron pruebas bioquímicas para confirmar las especies termotolerantes. El 16.7% de las canales fueron positivas a Campylobacter spp, donde el 60% fue con C. jejuni y 40% con C. coli. Además, el 26.7% de muestras de ciego fueron positivas, siendo el 72.7% a C. jejuni y 27.2% a C. coli. Palabras clave:Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, centros de beneficio clandestino, superficie de canales, ciego ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to determine the presence of Campylobacter spp in meat and cecum of broilers sold in three illegal abattoirs in Lima, Peru. For this purpose, 90 broilers were selected, collecting 60 samples of body carcasses by the rinse method and 30 samples of cecum. The samples were cultured in mCCDA agar at 42 °C for 48 h under microaerophilic atmosphere, and biochemical tests were used to identify thermotolerant Campylobacter species. The results showed that 16.7% of carcasses were positive, where 60% were C. jejuni and 40% C. coli. In cecum samples, 26.7% were positive to Campylobacter spp, where 72.7% were C. jejuni and 27.2% C. coli.
