Occurrence of campylobacter species in healthy well-nourished and malnourished children

Abstract

The occurrence of Campylobacter species in healthy, well-nourished and healthy, malnourished children of low socioeconomic level in Southern Chile was determined. Campylobacter carriers were significantly most frequent among malnourished (31.4%) than among well-nourished (9.9%) children. Six species were isolated from malnourished children whereas four were found among well-nourished children. C. upsaliensis was the most frequent (13.3%) species isolated from malnourished children, followed by C. lari (7.6%) and C. fetus ssp. fetus (1.9%).

Impact of Rurality, Broiler Operations, and Community Socioeconomic Factors on the Risk of Campylobacteriosis in Maryland

“…Similarly, Fernandez et al (2008) found that malnourished children in Chile were more frequent carriers of Campylobacter spp. (31.4%) than well-nourished children (9.9%).…”

“…The genus Campylobacter is comprised of an estimated 14 to 20 species (Debruyne, 2005;Fernandez, 2008) and of these species Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are most frequently associated with cases of campylobacteriosis.…”

Campylobacter concisus as the etiologic agent of gastrointestinal diseases

“…2 Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the genuses which cause disease symptoms most frequently. 3 Progress in molecular techniques and the development of innovative culture methods has led to the isolation of other genuses than Campylobacter jejuni/coli such as C. concisus, C. upsaliensis and C. ureolyticus. 4 The Campylobacter genus is comprised of 20 species and subspecies.…”

“…4 The Campylobacter genus is comprised of 20 species and subspecies. 3 The clinical manifestations of Campylobacter infections are caused not only by gastrointestinal infection but also by periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease. In some situations, a life-threatening generalized infection of the whole human body may be a complication of intestinal infection.…”

Influência da vida séssil e planctônica no perfil de resistência antimicrobiana de Campylobacter jejuni isoladas de carcaças de frangos comercializadas no Brasil

“…Após várias alterações na estrutura taxonômica do gênero (GALATE, BANGDE, 2013), em 1963, Sebald e Véron, nomearam o gênero como Campylobacter (BUTZLER et al, 1973;GALATE e BANGDE, 2013). A nomenclatura foi baseada no formato espiral do micro-organismo: Campylobacter origina-se da palavra grega campylos (curvos) e bacter (bactéria) (GARCÍA e CRAVIOTO, 2007;FERNÁNDEZ, 2008;QUETZ, 2009).…”
