“…Previous findings in some cities of Iran indicated 12.4% in Semnan, (3) 8% in Tehran, (35) 10% in Hamedan (36) and 6.4% in Zanjan. (37) Differences in prevalence rates probably are related to pathogenic agents or living conditions in different regions.…”

“…(26) Currently fecal lactoferrin has majored as one of the important factors for investigating fecal samples suspected of bacterial infections. (37) Acute bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal system or severe bowel diseases will increase fecal lactoferrin. It is reported that the fecal lactoferrin value was is higher in patients with Campylobacter (10.32 µg/g) and Salmonella (11.17 µg/g).…”

Contact with poultry and animals increases risk of Campylobacter infections in adults of Ardabil province, Iran BACKGROUNDThe acute gastroenteritis caused by campylobacteriosis is known as one of the common infectious diseases with worldwide distribution. The aim of this study was to detect Campylobacter species in stool samples by routine culturing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and explore the risk factors in adult subjects in East Azerbaijan province of Iran. METHODSA cross sectional study involving 1010 adult subjects, from whom stool samples were collected. Samples with inflammatory criteria like fecal leukocytes (WBC ≥5) were selected and isolated through fecal lactoferrin detection test. The WBC ≥5 and lactoferrin positive samples were selected for Campylobacter detection by culture and PCR methods. The required information consisting of gender, age, place of habitation, and contact with poultry and animals were asked and recorded. Chi-square test and prevalence ratio (PR) was used to analyze the data. RESULTSOf 1010 stool samples, 231 (22.9%) had WBC ≥5, and from these samples 58 (25.1%) were positive by culturing and 61 (26.4%) by PCR. Subjects having habitual contact with animals and poultry had increased risk of Campylobacter infections by 1.65 times compared with subjects without contact with animals and poultry (PR=1.65; 95% CI: 1.07-2.68). CONCLUSIONSDetection of Campylobacter infections by PCR was more sensitive in adults. Investigation of Campylobacter prevalence in Ardabil showed this bacterium should be viewed as one of the possible pathogens in inflammatory diarrheal cases. People having habitual contact with animals should check the health of the animals regularly and not consume food from suspected sources.

Background Campylobacter regarded as a major cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in humans. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of campylobacter in food, animal and human samples of Iran. Results Quantitative synthesis was performed from 119 articles. White meat had the highest pooled prevalence of Campylobacter spp. (43.9%). Pooled prevalence of 7.9% and 5.5% for Campylobacter, respectively, were determined for red meat and eggs from Iran. Campylobacter was seen in 14.9% of environmental samples and 8.4% of human samples. In most of the samples C. jejuni had higher frequency than C. coli. Most of the isolated Campylobacter harbored several of the known virulence related genes of this pathogen. Conclusion Chicken was identified as the Campylobacter reservoir. As such preventive strategies in all stages of poultry production until consumption are necessary to control foodborne human infection with Campylobacter in Iran.
