“…In a study in Pakestan, Campylobacter species were detected in 10.2 and 11.7% of raw milk and cheese samples (Hussain et al, 2007). In a study in Egypt, 2 of 50 raw milk samples (4.0%) and 4 of 38 fresh domiati cheese samples (11.0%) were positive for Campylobacter species, in which Campylobacter isolates recovered from these two product were all identified as C. jejuni (El-Sharoud, 2009).…”

“…Although the prevalence of Campylobacter spp., may vary in different dairy products, it has been shown in another study that Campylobacter isolates can be found more frequently in raw milk samples and soft cheeses (El-Sharoud, 2009;Hussain et al, 2007;Salihu et al, 2010). In a study in Pakestan, Campylobacter species were detected in 10.2 and 11.7% of raw milk and cheese samples (Hussain et al, 2007).…”

Several Campylobacter species are known to be pathogenic to humans, with Campylobacter jejuni being the main leading cause of campylobacteriosis worldwide. The present investigation aimed to detect C. jejuni from chicken, water, milk and milk products and humans among 4 Egyptian Governorates (Cairo, Fayoum, Minya and Qalubiya) using conventional method and PCR 146 C. jejuni isolates with an incidence of 6.2% were confirmed to species level by polymerase chain reaction through detection of MapA gene. high incidence of C. jejuni was recorded in chicken intestine (12.8%) followed by Chicken farms water (12%), raw chicken meat (9.6%), occupational human workers stool samples (8.4%) then raw milk (2%), Quraish cheese (1.7%) and finally it was 1.2% in yoghourt. The PCR was definitive, reliable method that facilitated rapid identification of C. jejuni to the species level. It concluded that poor hygiene and sanitation in poultry farms could explain this high level of prevalence of C. jejuni among the examined samples.

“…For example, it has been reported among cattle (12.6%), pigs (50%), and sheep (38.0%) in Ethiopia [9]; in sheep meat (18.0%) in Nigeria [13], in retail chicken carcasses (32%) in Senegal [25,26], and in human isolates (9.3%) in Tanzania and Uganda [27,28]. In other developing countries such as Iran, Pakistan, and Malaysia, Campylobacter was reported in 9.4% of goat meat, in 12% of lamb meat, in 10.9% of beef , and in 64.7% of chicken meat [29,30,31]. In the developed world, the existence of Campylobacter in various livestock such as poultry, pigs, cattle, sheep, as well as food products, has been established [32,12,15,33,34,35], but little is known about its existence in goats.…”

Background: The prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli was determined in goat and goat meat sold at retail outlets in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). Methodology: A total of 644 samples, including 177 goat meat, 86 goat stomachs, 139 ready to eat (RTE) goat skewers, and 242 goat faecal samples were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli using polymerase chain reaction. Results: Overall, Campylobacter spp. were found in 34.6% of the examined samples. C. jejuni was isolated in 10.1% and C. coli in 26.7% of samples. Only 2.2% of all samples were positive for both species. There was a significant association between the prevalence of C. coli and the type of sample (p < 0.05). The overall prevalence of Campylobacter in different sample groups was 41.2%, 37.2%, 23.7%, and 35.1% for goat meat, goat stomachs, RTE goat skewers, and goat faecal samples, respectively. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the prevalence observed in the rainy season (16.7%) and the dry season (20.0%). Moreover, the overall prevalence of Campylobacter in slaughter sites, open-air markets, warehouses, and semi-open-air markets was 28.2%, 34.2%, 35.4%, and 42.9%, respectively. Statistically, there was no influence of the sample collection site on the frequency of isolation of Campylobacter (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that, considering the relatively high prevalence of this pathogen, live goat and goat meat are major sources of human and environmental contamination by Campylobacter spp. in Lubumbashi.

“…De maneira geral, a ocorrência de Campylobacter em carnes vermelhas, especialmente bovina, é bastante baixa, sendo que os relatos variam entre 0,5% (ZHAO et al, 2001) e aproximadamente 11% (HUSSAIN et al, 2007). Korsak et al (1998) …”
