Although poultry meat is now recognized as the main source of Campylobacter jejuni gastroenteritis, little is known about the strategy used by the bacterium to colonize the chicken intestinal tract. In this study, the mechanism of C. jejuni colonization in chickens was studied using four human and four poultry isolates of C. jejuni. The C. jejuni strains were able to invade chicken primary cecal epithelial crypt cells in a predominantly microtubule-dependent way (five out of eight strains). Invasion of cecal epithelial cells was not accompanied by necrosis or apoptosis in the cell cultures, nor by intestinal inflammation in a cecal loop model. C. jejuni from human origin displayed a similar invasive profile compared to the poultry isolates. Invasiveness of the strains in vitro correlated with the magnitude of spleen colonization in C. jejuni inoculated chicks. The C. jejuni bacteria that invaded the epithelial cells were not able to proliferate intracellularly, but quickly evaded from the cells. In contrast, the C. jejuni strains were capable of replication in chicken intestinal mucus. These findings suggest a novel colonization mechanism by escaping rapid mucosal clearance through short-term epithelial invasion and evasion, combined with fast replication in the mucus. 相似文献

Three groups of conventional puppies were inoculated orally with Campylobacter jejuni biotype 2 which had been isolated from the small intestine of a dog with enteritis. Mild enteric disease was observed in one group. There was superficial intestinal colonization by the organism but penetration of intestinal epithelial cells was not apparent. C jejuni was isolated from the blood and viscera of inoculated dogs which showed no histological evidence of disease. 相似文献

From June 1983 to June 1984, two hundred twenty-five 3- to 30-month-old chickens (hens) on 10 different farms were examined for Campylobacter spp. Watering trays and fly vectors also were examined for Campylobacter spp on 6 of the 10 farms. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from fecal specimens from 64 hens (28.4%), C coli was isolated from 6 hens (2.7%), and C laridis was isolated from 9 hens (4%). The isolation rate of C jejuni was 6.7% to 46.7% for 9 of the 10 farms. On 2 farms, agglutinin titers greater than or equal to 1:40 against somatic and flagellar antigen of C jejuni were detected in hens from which the bacteria were isolated. Hens having titers greater than or equal to 1:40 against C jejuni or hens from which C jejuni had been isolated often occupied adjacent pens. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from a watering tray on 1 farm and from fly vectors on 2 farms. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to identify, at species level, thermophilic campylobacters isolated from clinically healthy sheep by a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR). The heterogeneity among Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli isolates was also investigated using a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the flagellin (flaA) gene. Samples of intestinal contents, gall bladders and faeces were collected from 610 healthy sheep. While gall bladder samples were plated directly onto Preston agar, an enrichment stage was applied for intestinal and faecal samples. Of the 610 samples, 302 (49.5%) were positive for Campylobacter spp. Using a mPCR assay for species identification, 103 (34.1%) were positive with C. jejuni-specific primers, while 100 (33.1%) were positive with C. coli-specific primers. Additionally, 16 (11.9%) of the intestinal content samples were positive for both species by mPCR. All the isolates identified as C. jejuni and C. coli were successfully subtyped by flaA typing. Of 203 isolates tested, 48 different flaA types were found. Twenty-six flaA types were identified among C. jejuni isolates and the remaining 22 from C. coli isolates. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文 Campylobacter jejuni were isolated in large numbers from the majority of birds sampled in colonic swabs from 28 of 60 flocks at slaughter. By contrast only small numbers of birds from 11 of the same 60 flocks yielded Salmonella enteritidis serotypes. Three C. jejuni isolates from each flock were serotyped on the basis of their heat-stable antigens, using antisera prepared against 16 serotypes common in Campylobacter diarrhea in man. The majority (72 of 83) of the chicken isolates could be serotyped. 相似文献

In this study, 100 gall bladder samples of sheep slaughtered at an abattoir in Elazi? province were examined for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Preston Campylobacter Agar supplemented with 7% horse blood and Preston Selective Supplement (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK) were used for isolation of the agents. Campylobacter spp. were isolated in 66 samples, and they were identified as 34% C. jejuni and 32% C. coli. A multiplex PCR based upon the use of ceuE gene-specific primers was applied on DNA samples extracted from C. jejuni and C. coli isolates. All C. jejuni and C. coli strains that were positive by culture were also detected to be positive by PCR. This study shows that PCR can be used an alternative, rapid and sensitive test for the identification of C. jejuni and C. coli which threaten human and animal health. 相似文献

In order to develop an indirect ELISA method to detect Campylobacter jejuni antibody, PEB1A gene of Campylobacter jejuni was cloned and amplified by PCR, the prokaryotic expression vector pET32a-PEBIA was constructed, and then transferred into the expression strain E.coli BL21 (DE3), and obtained about 47 ku of soluble protein. Western blotting result showed that the expressed recombinant protein had good biological activity, an indirect ELISA method for detecting antibody against Campylobacter jejuni was developed using expressed PEB1A protein as coating antigen,and detected its specificity, sensitivity, repeatability, respectively. The results showed that the established method for detection of Campylobacter jejuni antibody critical value was 0.3424. This method only specifically reacts with Campylobacter jejuni positive sera, and had no cross-reactivity with other antiserum and strong specificity. In addition, the coefficients of variations in both inter-and intra-assay were less than 5% indicating that it had good repeatability and stability. The establishment of this method could be applied to the rapid detection of Campylobacter jejuni in serum, and provided basis for further prevention and control of Campylobacter jejuni diarrhea. 相似文献

At 3 days of age, 12 gnotobiotic pigs were inoculated orally with broth cultures of Campylobacter jejuni. One pig was euthanatized and evaluated each day for 12 days. In the cecum and colon, there was diffuse edema, neutrophilic infiltration, and sloughing of epithelial cells from the mucosa on postinoculation days (PID) 2 through 5. Dysplastic colonic crypt epithelial cells were observed in the submucosa of the colon on PID 5 through 12. Curved, rod-shaped bacteria were detected on the surface of ileal, cecal, and colic absorptive and glandular epithelial cells. Bacteria also were found around small submucosal vessels on PID 3 and 4 and were associated with numerous perivascular neutrophils. The gnotobiotic pig appears to provide a simple, well-controlled in vivo model for the study of the pathogenesis of C jejuni infections in human beings, pigs, and other mammals. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed in a homologous system with bacterial ultrasonic-treated proteins as the antigen and antisera from chickens infected orally and subcutaneously with the strain Campylobacter jejuni serovar 6 (CJ 6). The cut-off level was determined using antisera from non-infected specific-pathogen-free chickens up to the age of 10 weeks. The suitability of the ELISA system was verified using antisera taken from chickens orally infected at the age of 4 weeks with CJ 1, 6, 28 or 36 or with Campylobacter coli serovar 28 (CC 28). The development of antibodies was monitored up to 6 weeks post-infection (p.i.). Sera from chickens infected with CJ 1, 6, 36 or CC 28 contained specific antibodies to Campylobacter, whereas in those infected with CJ 28 no specific antibodies were found. Distinct cross-reactions were observed between CJ 6, 28 and CC 28 antigens and their antisera 6 weeks p.i., while poor cross-reactions were found with antisera to CJ 1 and 28. Antibodies to strains of all heterologous serovars were successfully detected with an antigen pool comprised of CJ 1, 6 and 36 antigens. In 11 out of the 12 field sera obtained from 5- and 9-week-old broiler chickens suffering from campylobacteriosis, high specific antibody titres to Campylobacter jejuni were found. 相似文献

The modified Preston medium allows the isolation of C. jejuni, C. coli and C. fetus subsp. fetus from intestinal samples of calves at an incubation temperature of 37 degrees C. In the first series of investigation, Campylobacter excretion in calves (n = 7) was followed up to the age of 4 months. In the first 4 days of life, these bacteria could not be detected in any of the animals. Thereafter first C. coli we found in all calves. In 4 animals, only strains of this species were isolated during the whole investigation period. In 3 animals C. fetus subsp. fetus could be detected repeatedly, however C. coli and sometimes C. jejuni were found, too. In the second series of investigation, isolation of Campylobacter from different parts of the gastrointestinal tract or organs was successful in 19 out of 25 diarrhoeal, moribund calves. 16 out of 19 positive animals harboured large amounts of these gramnegative bacteria in the distal jejunum and ileum. In 10 animals out of these 16, the germ colonized also the proximal jejunum and abomasum. From 6 calves, C. fetus subsp. fetus was isolated, and C. jejuni from 7 calves. C. coli was relatively rare. From the lymph nodes of the proximal and distal jejunum, Campylobacter (exclusively C. jejuni) were isolated from 5 animals. Due to the Campylobacter presence in the small intestine of diarrhoeal calves, a contribution of this bacteria within the pathogenesis of calf diarrhoea is possible. Final evaluation of their pathogenesis importance is only positive by means of virulence tests. 相似文献

Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading causes of sporadic food-borne bacterial disease in humans. In intensive poultry and pig rearing systems the use of oral antibiotics is essential to maintain health. Consequently, there is a high risk for the thermophilic Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli resident in the intestinal tract of food animals to develop resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Contamination of meat or eggs with pathogenic strains of resistant Campylobacter could, therefore, result in a form of campylobacteriosis in humans that is difficult to treat. The aim of this investigation was to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. isolated from pigs and poultry by the broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. A total of 482 samples from the Western Cape and Gauteng provinces was collected and analysed. Thirty-eight Campylobacter isolates were obtained. Analysis of data revealed that C. jejuni strains mainly of poultry origin were more resistant to the fluoroquinolones, macrolides and tetracyclines and the C. coli strains were more resistant to the macrolides and lincosamides. Multi-resistance was also detected in 4 Campylobacter strains from the Western Cape. With the exception of tetracyclines, strains from high health Gauteng broiler farms were susceptible to antibiotics used to treat Campylobacter infections. 相似文献

Campylobacter in the dog: a clinical and experimental study 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Faecal samples from 54 dogs with diarrhoea and 54 control dogs were cultured for Campylobacter, Salmonella and Yersinia species and controlled for enteric viruses. The campylobacter were identified as either C jejuni/coli or C upsaliensis. In the diarrhoeic group 16 dogs (29.6 per cent) were positive for campylobacter, 10 C upsaliensis and six C jejuni/coli. Concomitant infection with parvovirus was evident in six of the dogs with diarrhoea and campylobacter-positive faecal cultures. In the control group 13 dogs (24.1 per cent) were positive for campylobacter; three of the isolates were C upsaliensis and six C jejuni/coli. Four isolates could not be identified. The most prominent clinical findings in naturally occurring cases were an acute onset of vomiting (12 of 16), diarrhoea (16 of 16) which was often haemorrhagic (nine of 16) and a raised rectal temperature. Dogs were infected experimentally with both C jejuni (three dogs) and C upsaliensis (three dogs). The challenge strains could be identified in faecal samples from all the dogs, but clinical signs of diarrhoea were seen in only one dog infected with C jejuni. Soft faeces was passed by one dog infected with C upsaliensis. It is concluded that C jejuni/coli or C upsaliensis are either primary pathogens or, after predisposing factors such as virus infections, act as secondary pathogens. It also seems probable that Campylobacter species are present in the intestinal flora of the normal dog. 相似文献

Campylobacter jejuni, a common commensal in chickens, is one of the leading causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. The aims of this investigation were twofold. First, we sought to determine whether mutations in the C. jejuni ciaB and pldA virulence-associated genes impaired the organism's ability to colonize chickens. Second, we sought to determine if inoculation of chicks with C. jejuni mutants could confer protection from subsequent challenge with the C. jejuni wild-type strain. The C. jejuni ciaB gene encodes a secreted protein necessary for the maximal invasion of C. jejuni into cultured epithelial cells, and the pldA gene encodes a protein with phospholipase activity. Also included in this study were two additional C. jejuni mutants, one harboring a mutation in cadF and the other in dnaJ, with which we have previously performed colonization studies. In contrast to results with the parental C. jejuni strain, viable organisms were not recovered from any of the chicks inoculated with the C. jejuni mutants. To determine if chicks inoculated with the C. jejuni mutants become resistant to colonization by the C. jejuni parental strain upon subsequent challenge, chicks were inoculated either intraperitoneally (i.p.) or both orally and i.p. with the C. jejuni mutants. Inoculated birds were then orally challenged with the parental strain. Inoculation with the C. jejuni mutants did not provide protection from subsequent challenge with the wild-type strain. In addition, neither the C. jejuni parental nor the mutant strains caused any apparent morbidity or mortality of the chicks. We conclude that mutations in genes cadF, dnaJ, pldA, and ciaB impair the ability of C. jejuni to colonize the cecum, that chicks tolerate massive inoculation with these mutant strains, and that such inoculations do not provide biologically significant protection against colonization by the parental strain. 相似文献

Campylobacter jejuni is frequently present in the intestinal tract of commercial broiler chickens, and their drinking water has been proposed to be an initial source of bacteria for newly hatched chicks. We studied three sequential commercial broiler flocks raised in a house from which we had cultured C. jejuni from the nipple waters prior to placement of the first flock. Campylobacter cells were detected by immunofluorescence in the biofilm of the drinking nipples during the weeks when the flock was colonized with C. jejuni but not during weeks when the birds were negative. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from the drinking water during the growth of the first flock and was present in the birds from all three flocks. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) typing with primer OPA11 indicated that seven distinct strains were present within the broiler house. One strain found in drinking water was similar to a strain found in birds in the second flock; however, RAPD-PCR with primer HLW85 showed that the strains were not identical. These results suggest that although the watering system is a potential source of C. jejuni in broiler flocks, the waterborne strain in this study was not detected in the birds. 相似文献

Outbreaks of colitis, where Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli were the only pathogens isolated occurred in weanling mink (Mustella vision) on two commercial mink ranches in Ontario. Lesions were restricted to the proximal colon and were characterized by multiple 1 mm focal or 1 mm linear erosions/ulcers in the region 2 cm distal to the ileal-colonic junction. Histological changes included thickening of the colonic mucosa, inflammatory cell infiltrate in the lamina propria and submucosa, cellular debris and inflammatory exudate within cryptal lumens and multiple areas of mucosal erosion/ulceration. Four C. jejuni negative mink were challenged with 5.1 X 10(9) colony forming units of C. jejuni by oral inoculation. Three of four experimentally infected mink developed diarrhea by day 4 postinfection with lesions grossly and microscopically similar to mink in the naturally occurring outbreak. Examination of lesions by transmission electron microscope failed to show evidence of C. jejuni invasion of intestinal epithelium. Feeding uncooked slaughterhouse chicken offal was the likely source of C. jejuni in the naturally occurring outbreaks. 相似文献

As no data are available on the prevalence of cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes carried by Campylobacter spp. in laying hens, this study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the prevalence of both Campylobacter spp. and cdt genes in 1680 laying hens from four different farms. The samples were analyzed by culture methods and by polymerase chain reaction. Campylobacter spp. were isolated from 1097/1680 cloacal swabs. Among the isolates, 913 were identified as Campylobacter jejuni whereas 345 were identified as Campylobacter coli. All isolates carried cdt genes. The results presented here confirm the very common occurrence of C. jejuni and C. coli in laying hens and underline that the cdt genes may also be frequently present in both C. jejuni and C. coli isolates from laying hens. 相似文献
