Abstract

Campylobacteriosis is one of the principal causes of gastroenteritis in the world. Poultry, being the natural reservoir, can harbour large number of Campylobacter in their caeca. The current study was carried out to assess the occurrence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in different meat type breeds in an organised farm. Out of the 120 cloacal swabs analysed, 31.67 per cent were found to be positive for Campylobacter spp. There was no significant difference in occurrence of Campylobacter spp. between different meat breeds. On molecular confirmation, majority of the isolates (71.05 per cent) were identified as Campylobacter jejuni and the rest as Campylobacter coli (28.95 per cent). The present study confirms a substantial degree of Campylobacter contamination in meat type chicken breeds in the farm. Good hygienic practices with better biosecurity measures and periodic screening of live poultry, poultry meat and its products are necessary to reduce the foodborne transmission of this pathogen to ensure safer food for consumers.
喜热弯曲杆菌在Thrissur地区一个有组织农场的鸡肉品种中的发生
弯曲杆菌病是世界上肠胃炎的主要原因之一。家禽是弯曲杆菌的天然储存库,其盲肠内可藏匿大量弯曲杆菌。目前的研究是在一个有组织的农场进行的,以评估嗜热弯曲杆菌在不同肉类品种中的发生情况。在分析的120份肛肠菌签中,31.67%呈弯曲杆菌阳性。在不同肉类品种之间,弯曲杆菌的发生率没有显著差异。分子鉴定结果表明,大多数分离株为空肠弯曲杆菌(71.05%),其余为大肠弯曲杆菌(28.95%)。目前的研究证实,该农场肉鸡品种中存在相当程度的弯曲杆菌污染。良好的卫生习惯、更好的生物安全措施和定期筛查活禽、禽肉及其产品对于减少这种病原体的食源性传播,确保消费者获得更安全的食品是必要的。
