Background:To study prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in chicken and beef meat, and determine the drug susceptibility of strains, 450 samples in Tehran, Iran were investigated. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and the antimicrobial resistance of entropathogenic Campylobacter strains, especially C. jejuni isolated from raw chicken and beef meat in Tehran-Iran. Materials and Methods: Out of 250 chickens and 200 beef meats, 121(26.8 %) contaminated cases with Campylobacter strains were isolated. Campylobacter was isolated from a significantly larger number of chickens (44%) than beef meats (5.5 %) (P < 0.05). Results: From all isolated Campylobacter organisms, 93 (76.8%) species were identified as C. jejuni and 28 cases (23.1%) as C. coli. Susceptibilities of 121 strains (93 C. jejuni and 28 C. coli) were determined against 12 antimicrobial drugs using the disk agar diffusion method. Resistance to nalidixic acid (75%) and ciprofloxacin (50%) was an alarming finding, moreover, 32.6% of isolates was resistant to tetracycline, 10.8% to ampicillin, 29.3% to colisitin and 26.1% to amoxicillin. The highest sensitivity was seen to erythromycin (95 %) and gentamicin (96%). Conclusions:These results showed that a high proportion of chicken and beef meat in Iran is contaminated with Campylobacter, particularly with Campylobacter jejuni. The high rate of contamination, especially chicken is a significant public health concern. Most of the isolates were resistant; therefore, human infection with Campylobacter spp. via consumption of these products is possible.

“…In this study, the MPN results determined that the chicken meat was a high microbialload food that preferred TT broth incubated at 439 C or RV broth in the enrichment step. The prevalence of S. enterica (18.7z) was higher (9,31) and lower (32)(33)(34) than that reported from other countries. In Thailand, a study reported a higher prevalence than that in this study (10).…”

SUMMARY:We assessed contamination by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in chicken meat obtained from supermarkets in Bangkok, Thailand. The prevalence of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli was 18.7z (14/75) and 53z (106/200), respectively. Most probable number (MPN) analysis showed that 56.7z of the samples (34/60) were in violation of the limit of allowable coliform bacteria in chicken meat, for which the maximum is 46,000 MPN/g. Multidrug-resistant phenotypes of both S. enterica and E. coli were found. The presence of class 1 integrons was demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and dot-blot hybridization. PCR showed that class 1 integrons were present in 42.9z (6/14) and 37.7z (40/106) of S. enterica and E. coli isolates, respectively. Resistance genes identified in this study were aadA2, aadA4, aadA22, and aadA23 (for aminoglycoside resistance); dfrA5 (for trimethoprim resistance), and lnuF (for lincosamide resistance). Four S. enterica isolates underwent multilocus sequence typing and the results were sequence type (ST) 50, ST 96, ST 1543, and ST 1549, which matched well with strains from many countries and reflected an international spread. Our study revealed that class 1 integrons have spread into community sources and might play an important role in horizontal antibiotic resistance gene transfer.

“…The reservoirs of these organisms are considered to be animals, particularly chickens and pigs, and these organisms are easily isolated from the feces [8]. The main source of infection in humans seems to be consumption of foods from animal origin such as contaminated eggs, unpasteurized milk, crosscontaminated foods and drinking water [5,6,9,17]. In Southeast Asian countries, Salmonella spp.…”

ABSTRACT. This is the first report regarding isolation of Salmonella from cecum samples of buffaloes and pigs and characterization of the isolates in Laos. The organisms were isolated from 8% (4/50) of buffaloes and 76% (37/49) of pigs. In buffaloes, 3 animals harbored serotype 9,12: -:1,5, and 1 animal harbored both S. Derby and S. Javiana. In pigs, the most predominant serotypes were S. Derby (51%) followed by S. Anatum (45%), S. Weltevreden (15%) and S. Stanley (5%). The buffalo isolates were susceptible to the antimicrobials tested, whereas the pig isolates showed 10 resistance patterns to 1-5 antibiotics. Of the 59 pig isolates, the resistance rates to tetracycline, streptomycin, ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and nalidixic acid were 24%, 22%, 14%, 5%, 2%, 2% and 2%, respectively. The results suggest that pigs and buffaloes harbor Salmonella, with a higher prevalence especially in pigs, and all the isolates showed sensitivity to cefotaxime, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin.
