Susceptibility of Campylobacter hyointestinalis subsp. hyointestinalis to antimicrobial agents and characterization of quinolone-resistant strains. (1/3)
OBJECTIVES: To study the susceptibility of Campylobacter hyointestinalis subsp. hyointestinalis to several antimicrobial agents and to investigate the mechanisms of nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin resistance. METHODS: The disc diffusion method was employed to study the susceptibility of 49 C. hyointestinalis subsp. hyointestinalis strains of reindeer and bovine origin to 12 different antimicrobial agents. In addition, the MICs of nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin were determined. The nucleotide sequence of a 270 bp fragment of the gyrA gene was determined in ciprofloxacin-susceptible and -resistant strains. The effect of a multidrug efflux pump inhibitor Phe-Arg-beta-naphthylamide (PA beta N) on the MICs of ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid was also studied. RESULTS: The only decreased susceptibility for antimicrobial agents of this study was observed for sulphonamide compound and streptomycin (24% and 32% of the strains, respectively), and this phenomenon was observed exclusively in the bovine strains. In sequence studies, a Thr-86-->Ile change was found in strains with MICs of ciprofloxacin of > or = 64 mg/L, but this mutation was absent in strains with lower resistance levels. The use of PA beta N did not affect the MIC of ciprofloxacin but decreased the MIC of nalidixic acid 2-4-fold. CONCLUSIONS: The Finnish C. hyointestinalis subsp. hyointestinalis strains are susceptible to a majority of the antimicrobials of veterinary importance. The mechanism of ciprofloxacin resistance at lower levels (< or = 32 mg/L) is not associated with a specific mutation in the quinolone resistance-determining region of the gyrA gene. Finally, there are distinct differences in the mechanisms of ciprofloxacin resistance compared with nalidixic acid resistance within the studied species.

The influence of antimicrobial agents on the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Campylobacter isolates recovered from 300 beef cattle maintained in an experimental feedlot was monitored over a 315-day period (11 sample times). Groups of calves were assigned to one of the following antimicrobial treatments: chlortetracycline and sulfamethazine (CS), chlortetracycline alone (Ct), virginiamycin, monensin, tylosin phosphate, and no antimicrobial agent (i.e., control treatment). In total, 3,283 fecal samples were processed for campylobacters over the course of the experiment. Of the 2,052 bacterial isolates recovered, 92% were Campylobacter (1,518 were Campylobacter hyointestinalis and 380 were C. jejuni). None of the antimicrobial treatments decreased the isolation frequency of C. jejuni relative to the control treatment. In contrast, C. hyointestinalis was isolated less frequently from animals treated with CS and to a lesser extent from animals treated with Ct. The majority (> or =94%) of C. jejuni isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin, but more isolates with resistance to tetracycline were recovered from animals fed Ct. All of the 1,500 isolates of C. hyointestinalis examined were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. In contrast, 11%, 10%, and 1% of these isolates were resistant to tetracycline, erythromycin, and ampicillin, respectively. The number of animals from which C. hyointestinalis isolates with resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline were recovered differed among the antimicrobial treatments. Only Ct administration increased the carriage rates of erythromycin-resistant isolates of C. hyointestinalis, and the inclusion of CS in the diet increased the number of animals from which tetracycline-resistant isolates were recovered. The majority of C. hyointestinalis isolates with resistance to tetracycline were obtained from cohorts within a single pen, and most of these isolates were recovered from cattle during feeding of a forage-based diet as opposed to a grain-based diet. The findings of this study show that the subtherapeutic administration of tetracycline, alone and in combination with sulfamethazine, to feedlot cattle can select for the carriage of resistant strains of Campylobacter species. Considering the widespread use of in-feed antimicrobial agents and the high frequency of beef cattle that shed campylobacters, the development of AMR should be monitored as part of an on-going surveillance program. (+info)Prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in cattle in Finland and antimicrobial susceptibilities of bovine Campylobacter jejuni strains. (3/3)
The study investigated the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in Finnish cattle at slaughter and carcass contamination after slaughter. During the period January to December 2003, bovine rectal fecal samples (n=952) and carcass surface samples (n=948) from 12 out of 15 Finnish slaughterhouses were examined. In total, campylobacters were detected in 31.1% of fecal samples and in 3.5% of carcass surface samples. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 19.5%, Campylobacter coli from 2.2%, and presumptive Campylobacter hyointestinalis from 10.8% of fecal samples. Campylobacters were detected in 4.4% and 37.4% of the fecal samples examined both by direct culture and by enrichment (n=730), respectively, suggesting a low level of campylobacters in the intestinal content. A slightly increasing trend was observed in the overall prevalence of campylobacters towards the end of summer and autumn. Seventeen different serotypes were detected among the fecal C. jejuni isolates using a set of 25 commercial antisera for serotyping heat-stable antigens (Penner) of C. jejuni by passive hemagglutination. The predominant serotypes, Pen2 and Pen4-complex, were isolated from 52% of the fecal samples. Subtyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (SmaI) yielded 56 and 20 subtypes out of 330 fecal and 70 carcass C. jejuni isolates, respectively. MICs of ampicillin, enrofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, and oxytetracycline for 187 C. jejuni isolates were determined using a commercial broth microdilution method. Sixteen (9%) of the isolates were resistant to at least one of the antimicrobials tested. Resistance to nalidixic acid was most commonly detected (6%). No multiresistance was observed. (+info)Campylobacter hyointestinalis is a type of bacteria that can cause infection in humans and animals. It is a member of the Campylobacter genus, which includes several other species that are known to cause foodborne illness. Campylobacter hyointestinalis is commonly found in the intestines of animals, particularly poultry and pigs. It can also be found in the environment, such as in soil and water. Infection with Campylobacter hyointestinalis can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and fever. It is typically spread through contaminated food or water, or through contact with infected animals or their feces. Treatment for Campylobacter hyointestinalis infection usually involves supportive care, such as drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to help clear the infection.
Campylobacter is a genus of bacteria that are commonly found in the environment, particularly in soil, water, and the feces of animals. In humans, Campylobacter can cause a type of food poisoning called campylobacteriosis, which is typically caused by consuming contaminated food or water. Campylobacteriosis is a common bacterial infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of campylobacteriosis can include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and headache. In severe cases, the infection can lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis or Guillain-Barré syndrome. Campylobacter bacteria are typically spread through contaminated food or water, or through contact with infected animals or their feces. The bacteria can survive in the environment for long periods of time, and can be difficult to eliminate from surfaces or objects. Prevention of campylobacteriosis involves practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or handling raw meat, and cooking food to a safe temperature. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection.
Campylobacter infections are a type of bacterial infection caused by the Campylobacter bacteria. These bacteria are commonly found in the feces of birds and other animals, and can be transmitted to humans through contaminated food or water, or through contact with infected animals or their feces. Symptoms of Campylobacter infections can include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and headache. In some cases, the infection can also cause more serious complications, such as sepsis or meningitis. Treatment for Campylobacter infections typically involves the use of antibiotics to kill the bacteria. In most cases, the infection can be successfully treated and the symptoms will resolve on their own within a few days to a week. However, in some cases, the infection can be more severe and may require hospitalization. Prevention of Campylobacter infections involves practicing good hygiene, such as washing your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or handling raw meat, and cooking food thoroughly to kill any bacteria that may be present. It is also important to avoid drinking untreated water and to avoid close contact with animals or their feces.
Campylobacter jejuni is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the intestinal tracts of birds and mammals, including humans. It is one of the most common causes of bacterial food poisoning worldwide, and is often transmitted through contaminated food or water. In humans, Campylobacter jejuni can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. In some cases, the infection can lead to more serious complications, such as reactive arthritis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and meningitis. Diagnosis of Campylobacter jejuni typically involves stool culture and identification using specialized laboratory techniques. Treatment typically involves supportive care, such as rehydration and electrolyte replacement, and may also include antibiotics in severe cases. Prevention measures include proper food handling and cooking, as well as avoiding cross-contamination in the kitchen.
DNA, Bacterial refers to the genetic material of bacteria, which is a type of single-celled microorganism that can be found in various environments, including soil, water, and the human body. Bacterial DNA is typically circular in shape and contains genes that encode for the proteins necessary for the bacteria to survive and reproduce. In the medical field, bacterial DNA is often studied as a means of identifying and diagnosing bacterial infections. Bacterial DNA can be extracted from samples such as blood, urine, or sputum and analyzed using techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or DNA sequencing. This information can be used to identify the specific type of bacteria causing an infection and to determine the most effective treatment. Bacterial DNA can also be used in research to study the evolution and diversity of bacteria, as well as their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Additionally, bacterial DNA can be modified or manipulated to create genetically engineered bacteria with specific properties, such as the ability to produce certain drugs or to degrade pollutants.
Campylobacter fetus is a type of bacteria that can cause infections in humans and animals. It is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the intestinal tracts of animals, particularly cattle, sheep, and goats. In humans, Campylobacter fetus can cause a variety of infections, including septicemia (blood poisoning), endocarditis (infection of the heart valves), and meningitis (infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). It can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Campylobacter fetus is typically spread through the feces of infected animals, and can be transmitted to humans through contaminated food or water, or through contact with infected animals or their environment. It is important to practice good hygiene and food safety measures to prevent infection with Campylobacter fetus.
Campylobacter coli is a type of bacteria that belongs to the Campylobacter genus. It is a common cause of foodborne illness and is often found in raw or undercooked poultry, meat, and eggs. Infection with Campylobacter coli can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and nausea. In severe cases, it can lead to complications such as sepsis, meningitis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Treatment typically involves supportive care and antibiotics to help the body fight off the infection.
Enteritis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the lining of the small intestine. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, as well as certain medications, toxins, or autoimmune disorders. Symptoms of enteritis may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite. Treatment for enteritis depends on the underlying cause and may include antibiotics, antiviral medications, or other medications to manage symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary.
Campylobacter lari is a type of bacteria that belongs to the Campylobacter genus. It is a gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the environment, particularly in water and soil. In humans, Campylobacter lari can cause a type of food poisoning called campylobacteriosis. This is typically caused by consuming contaminated food or water, and symptoms can include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and nausea. Campylobacter lari is also known to cause infections in animals, particularly poultry and other birds. In these cases, the bacteria can cause respiratory infections, enteritis, and other illnesses. Overall, Campylobacter lari is considered to be a relatively common and widespread bacterium that can cause a range of health problems in both humans and animals.
