| Abstract;To study epidemiology of food poisoning caused by Campylobacter between Japan and Thailand, we isolated Campylobacter spp. in fecal samples from cattle, swine and broiler chicken, and in commercial chicken meats. We identified serogroup of Campylobacter spp. isolates and examined antimicrobial resistance of C.jejuni isolates from human and animals source of infection in poultry in Thailand. C.jejuni was isolated from 76.0% of cattle, 1.9% of swine, 50.0% of broiler chicken and 26.7% of commercial chicken meats. Serogroup B (19.3%) and Serogroup D (17.5%) were isolated from cattle. Serogroup B (37.5%) and Serogroup A (12.5%) were isolated from broiler chicken. In Thailand, Serogroup B (10.0%), Serogroup E (8.0%) and Serogroup R (8.0%) were isolated from human, while Serogroup A (27.0%) was most frequently isolated from poultry. Resistance for ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid were seen in 82.0% and 78.0% of human isolates. Eighty three percent and 100.0% of isolates from poultry were resistant to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin, respectively. In Japan, 29.2% and 33.3% of isolates from poultry were resistant to ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid, respectively. The rate of resistance of isolates from chicken meat to ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid were 30.4% and 34.8%, respectively. We amplified gyrase A gene in Campylobacter isolates. The gyrase A gene was amplified and detected from 53.8% of poultry isolates and 95.7% of commercial chicken meat samples. The results indicated that poultry and poultry products were potentially infectious sources of Campylobacter spp. in Japan and Thailand. (author abst.) |
