Identification of Campylobacter spp. Isolates with Phenotypic Methods and Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction and Their Antibiotic Susceptibilities

Characterization of antimicrobial resistance and application of RFLP for epidemiological monitoring of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. isolated from dogs and humans in Korea

“…isolates from humans for quinolones, the rates of resistance were 87% for nalidixic acid, 80.4% for enrofloxacin, and 80% for ciprofloxacin. The fluoroquinolone resistance of C. jejuni from humans and dogs in this study was similar with previous reports [3,15,29]. The results of C. coli isolates from humans were 50% resistant to three fluoroquinolones.…”

A Molecular Survey of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter Coli Virulence and Diversity

“…In a few previous studies performed in Iran, the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. was reported to be 8%, 10.8%, and 8.7% in 2007, 2009, and 2011, respectively [3, 14, 15]. This observation shows the trend of Campylobacter infections to be almost unchanged through years in this country.…”

“…The prevalence of Campylobacter species among diarrheic children was reported to be 5.4% in Turkey [14], 7% in India [15] and 11.1% in Lebanon [16]. As reported by WHO [17], the incidence of Campylobacteriosis was 9.3 per 1,000 people in Europe America [17].…”

Co-infection with Campylobacter jejuni Subtypes in Patients with Acute Gastroenteritis

“…Kampilobakter enfeksiyonlarının tedavisinde eritromisin ve kinolonlar tercih edilen antibiyotiklerdir. Ancak son yıllarda kinolonlara karşı önemli oranda bir direnç gelişimi söz konusudur (10,17) . Kültür değerlendirmesi sonucunda farklı morfolojik özellikler taşıyan kolonilerin antibakteriyal duyarlılıklarının her biri için ayrı ayrı yapılmaması, kültürde yer alan dirençli izolatın da duyarlı olarak raporlanması-na neden olabilir.…”

“…Bu çalışmada kullanılan izolatlar, Mart 2010-Mart 2011 döneminde gastroenteritli hastalardan kampilobakter prevalansının araştırıldığı çalış-mada elde edilmişlerdir (10) . Üç örneğin her birinde 2'şer adet farklı morfolojiye sahip koloni (mCCD-modified cefoperazone charcoal deoxycholate agar'da biri gri renkli, metalik refle veren ve diğeri de beyaz-gri renkli, mukoid özellikte olan) gözlenmiş ve bunlar ayrı ayrı değerlendirmeye alınmıştır.…”
