Campylobacteris considered to be a major foodborne pathogen associated with human bacterial gastroenteritis in many parts of the world. Southeast Asia (SEA) has been challenging for infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance in recent years. Antibiotic resistance in Campylobacterisolates has been reported in humans and animals in this region.Since the SEA region is one of the top tourist destinations of the world, the provision of safe food is of importance for the travel-related foodborne infections. Therefore, it is essential to elucidate the status of antibiotic resistance of Campylobacterspp. in the SEA region to reduce the impact of infection and to implement …
Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment For Parts, Ground, And Msc Poultry Product Including Intervention Analysis And Exploration Of Enterobacteriaceae As An Indicator Organism In Poultry Processing, Leigh Ann Parette
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Samples collected at five different large bird poultry processing facilities over a period of 7 months from prescald to post debone locations were enumerated for Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella spp., and Campylobacter spp. and the results were used to create Quantitative Microbial Risk Analyses (QMRA) models for parts, ground, and mechanically separated chicken (MSC) products. Sensitivity analyses indicated the points in the process at which reductions would be most advantageous to the endpoint and simulation models were run to test reductions required to meet the current USDA performance standards.
These data were analyzed to determine the reductions from one node (location) to …

Comparison Of Two Methods For The Recovery Of Campylobacter From Chicken Carcasses, Suthida Muangnoicharoen, Sakaoporn Prachantasena, Luck Hankla, Taradon Luangtongkum
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Campylobacteriosis, one of the most common food-borne diseases in humans, is mainly caused by the consumption of chicken meat contaminated with Campylobacter. In this study, we examined the recovery rate of Campylobacter from carcass rinse using direct plating method and selective enrichment method. Campylobacter genotypes obtained from both methods were also determined using flaA-short variable region (flaA-SVR) sequencing. Results showed that Campylobacter recovery rates by the direct plating method and selective enrichment method were 40.00% and 46.86%, respectively. However, when a combination of the two methods was used, the recovery rate increased to 64.57%. For genetic characterization of Campylobacter, 9 …

The increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter has become a major public health concern. Since little is known about antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter isolated from contracted broiler farms, the major type of farm that produces chicken meat for domestic consumption in Thailand, the objective of the present study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns and genotypes of Campylobacter isolated from contracted broiler farms where antibiotics were routinely used in their production. Sixty-nine Campylobacter jejuni isolates from cloacal swabs of chickens reared in 2 small contracted broiler farms in eastern Thailand were tested for their susceptibility to 5 antimicrobial agents by …
The Human/Animal Interface: Emergence And Resurgence Of Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Michael Greger
The Human/Animal Interface: Emergence And Resurgence Of Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Michael Greger
Michael Greger, MD, FACLM
Emerging infectious diseases, most of which are considered zoonotic in origin, continue to exact a significant toll on society. The origins of major human infectious diseases are reviewed and the factors underlying disease emergence explored. Anthropogenic changes, largely in land use and agriculture, are implicated in the apparent increased frequency of emergence and reemergence of zoonoses in recent decades. Special emphasis is placed on the pathogen with likely the greatest zoonotic potential, influenzavirus A.

Socioeconomic Determinants Of Geographic Disparities In Campylobacteriosis Risk: A Comparison Of Global And Local Modeling Approaches, Jennifer Weisent, Barton Rohrbach, John Dunn, Agricola Odoi
Socioeconomic Determinants Of Geographic Disparities In Campylobacteriosis Risk: A Comparison Of Global And Local Modeling Approaches, Jennifer Weisent, Barton Rohrbach, John Dunn, Agricola Odoi
Agricola Odoi
Background: Socioeconomic factors play a complex role in determining the risk of campylobacteriosis. Understanding the spatial interplay between these factors and disease risk can guide disease control programs. Historically, Poisson and negative binomial models have been used to investigate determinants of geographic disparities in risk. Spatial regression models, which allow modeling of spatial effects, have been used to improve these modeling efforts. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) takes this a step further by estimating local regression coefficients, thereby allowing estimations of associations that vary in space. These recent approaches increase our understanding of how geography influences the associations between determinants and …

Emergence Of Quinolone Resistance Among Chicken Isolates Of Campylobacter In Turkey, Serap Savaşan, Alper Çi̇ftçi̇, K. Serdar Di̇ker
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The development and extent of quinolone-resistance in broiler isolates of campylobacters over a 15-year period was investigated. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid for 567 Campylobacter jejuni and 233 Campylobacter coli strains were determined by the agar dilution method. Of the strains, 180, 420 and 200 were isolated during 1987, 1992 and 2000, respectively. Enrofloxacin or ciprofloxacin resistance was not found in isolates from 1987. The first fluoroquinolone resistance (1.4% to enrofloxacin and 1.2% to ciprofloxacin) appeared in strains isolated in 1992, approximately 2 years after the licensing of enrofloxacin in Turkey. The rate of resistance to …
