“…positive samples from faeces of dogs is higher in spring. In turn, in Argentina these microorganisms were frequently isolated from dogs in the summer, and from cats during the autumn/winter (Lopez et al 2002). Also in Switzerland more positive samples from cats were collected during the winter (Wieland et al 2005).…”

“…The frequency of isolation of Campylobacter spp. in dogs varied from 17% (Brazil, Argentina) to 76.2% (Denmark), while in cats isolation values ranged from 8% in Brazil to 47.8% in Germany (Moser et al 2001, Aquino et al 2002, Lopez et al 2002, Sandberg et al 2002, Engvall et al 2003, Hald et al 2004, Wieland et al 2005, Workman et al 2005, Acke et al 2009, Chaban et al 2010, Parsons et al 2010, Salihu et al 2010.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cats and dogs as a potential reservoir of Campylobacter spp. Rectal swabs from 83 dogs and 71 cats were examined. Samples were obtained from the animals aged between 2 weeks and 24 months living in shelters, private households, farms and from veterinary clinics located in Bydgoszcz region during routine check-up.Campylobacter spp. were isolated from 4.81% dogs and 9.86% cats, respectively. C. jejuni was predominant in this study. All strains were isolated in autumn and winter from the animals living in farms and private houses. All the animals positive for Campylobacter prevalence had access to small water basins, accidental source of food and had contact with wild birds, poultry or their feaces.Isolates characterization revealed high prevalence of Campylobacter virulence genes-flaA, cadF and cdtB. 91% of isolated strains were susceptible to erythromycin. 81% among isolated strains were susceptible to azithromycin, 64% to tetracycline and 36% to ciprofloxacin. For 2 C. jejuni strains isolated from cats Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profiling indicated 80% homology between them.

“…Campylobacter türleri, çeşitli evcil ve yabani hayvanların normal bağırsak florasında bulunmakta ve bu hayvanlarda enterik infeksiyonlar ve genital sistem infeksiyonlarına neden olmaktadır (7,8,13,17). Termofilik Campylobacter'ler grubunda incelenen Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli ve C. lari türleri, dünyanın pek çok böl-gesinde insan ve hayvanlarda bakteriyel enterik infeksiyonların en sık rastlanan nedenleri arasında yer almaktadır (3,14,16).…”
