“…hyointestinalis from a dog. Our work echoes the findings of previous studies, which have reported that C. jejuni and C. upsaliensis are the species most commonly documented in dogs and cats worldwide, while C. coli and C. lari have been rarely isolated (Baker et al, 1999;Sandberg et al, 2002;Hald et al, 2004;Koene et al, 2004;Wieland et al, 2005;Workman et al, 2005;Rossi et al, 2008;Acke et al, 2009aAcke et al, , 2009bParsons et al, 2010Parsons et al, , 2011Leonard et al, 2011;Carbonero et al, 2012). Conversely, C. helveticus has been frequently detected in cats (Shen et al, 2001;Wieland et al, 2005;Workman et al, 2005;Tsai et al, 2007;Rossi et al, 2008).…”

“…isolation rates in healthy and diarrhoeic dogs and cats are in accordance with most earlier studies (Baker et al, 1999;López et al, 2002;Sandberg et al, 2002;Hald et al, 2004;Workman et al, 2005;Acke et al, 2006;Rossi et al, 2008;Parsons et al, 2010) and support the view that pets can be subclinical intestinal carriers of campylobacters. Although not confirmed in our study, season has previously been identified as a risk factor for dogs (Sandberg et al, 2002) and seasonality in Campylobacter prevalence has been observed in other studies (López et al, 2002;Wieland et al, 2005;Carbonero et al, 2012). However, it might not be accurate to compare these observations directly because of differences in climates and in the categorization of seasons.…”

“…In the present study, only C. jejuni and C. coli were isolated, with the former being predominant. This observation is similar to findings by Baker et al (1999) and Carbonero et al (2012) who reported higher C. jejuni isolates compared to C. coli in dogs and cats. Both C. jejuni and C. coli have also been isolated successfully from environmental sources, faeces and by-products of various mammals and birds (Rosef et al 1985;Hakkinen et al 2007;Moyaert et al 2008;Goni Nalidixic acid 5 (62.5%) 1 (100%) Ciprofloxacin 6 (75%) 1 (100%) Erythromycin 1 (12.5%) 0 (0%) Tetracycline 7 (87.5%) 1 (100%) Streptomycin 1 (12.5%) 0 (0%) Ampicillin 1 (12.5%) 0 (0%) Amoxicillin 2 (25%) 0 (0%) Gentamicin 0 (0%) 0 (0%) Chloramphenicol 1 (12.5%) 0 (0%) Enrofloxacin 1 (12.5%) 0 (0%) Cefazolin 4 (50%) 1 (100%) Lincomycin 6 (75%) 1 (100%) Nawal (2011) isolated C. jejuni from humans and poultry in Egypt implying that a wide range of organisms could be susceptible.…”

Campylobacter is considered the most common bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis in the world with C. jejuni being regarded as the primary cause of bacterial gastroenteritis. A broad range of other Campylobacter species, including C. coli have also been implicated in human gastroenteritis. This study sought to isolate, characterize and assess the antibiogram of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli from faecal samples obtained from cats and dogs in Isfahan and Shahrekord cities in Iran. Faecal samples were collected from 100 pets comprising of 50 dogs and 50 cats from March 2015 to March 2016; incorporating the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter). Campylobacter spp. was isolated by culture, characterized by biochemical tests and confirmed by PCR‐based assays. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method, using Mueller Hinton agar. A total of 19 Campylobacter isolates among them two C. jejuni and one C. coli were recovered from dogs and cats’ faecal samples. The prevalence rates of Campylobacter spp. were 16.0% (8 out of 50) in dogs and 22.0% (11 out of 50) in cats. The highest (4 out of 16, 25%) Campylobacter spp. prevalence among dogs was reported in autumn and the lowest (1 out of 11, 9.1%) in spring, while among the cats, the highest (4 out of 12, 33.3%) Campylobacter spp. prevalence was reported in summer and lowest (1 out of 11, 9.09%) in spring. Campylobacter spp. isolated from faecal samples obtained from cats and dogs exhibited the most frequent antimicrobial resistance against tetracycline at 81.8% and 87.5%, respectively, compared to all other antimicrobial agents. These results show a low prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in faecal samples obtained from pet dogs and cats in Shahrekord and Isfahan cities in Iran. Given the relatively low prevalence of the C. jejuni and C. coli in pet dogs and cats in Isfahan and Shahrekord cities, it can be assumed that their importance as reservoirs for infection in humans is likely to be limited to the studied cities, but should not be neglected.

“…None of the isolates obtained in this work was resistant to ciprofloxacin, even though a resistance to this antibiotic has been previously observed among isolates from animals and humans (Garcia et al 2010, Carbonero et al 2012, Toledo et al 2015, Lapierre et al 2016. On the contrary, two isolates were resistant to erythromycin, i.e.…”

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the leading cause of food-related diarrhea worldwide. However, other campylobacteria such as other Campylobacter spp., Arcobacter spp. and Helicobacter spp. are also recognised as emerging pathogens, although they are not frequently isolated by traditional culturing methods. Moreover, Campylobacter spp. have become increasingly resistant to antibiotics due to antibiotic usage in animal and human medicine. It has been suggested that pet ownership increases the risk for campylobacteriosis. However, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and poor sanitation conditions have also been associated with the highest rates of shedding among animals. This study assessed the faecal shedding of campylobacteria in an urban coastal area among 68 (66.0%) domestic animals, mainly dogs (n=61), and 35 (33.9%) wild animals belonging to 13 species and eight orders. None of them had symptoms of gastroenteritis and campylobacteria were detected by PCR in 21 samples (20.4%), while only six (5.8%) were detected by culturing, i.e. Campylobacter upsaliensis (n=4, dogs), C. jejuni (n=1, dog) and Arcobacter butzleri (n=1, chicken). None of the isolates was resistant to ciprofloxacin, but two were resistant to erythromycin, i.e. A. butzleri (MIC=8 µg/ml) and C. upsaliensis (MIC=128 µg/ml). Regarding the virulence factors, only one isolate of C. jejuni was positive for cdtC and cadF genes and one isolate of A. butzleri was positive for cadF and ciaB genes. This is the first study to assess the faecal shedding of campylobacteria in animals from the urban coastal area of Valparaíso, Chile. Although C. jejuni and other emerging campylobacteria were detected mainly from pet dogs and in a low rate, further investigations are needed to assess the potential transmission of these zoonotic bacteria or their antibiotic resistance between pets and owners.
