<i>Campylobacter enteritis</i> among children in Dembia District, Northwest Ethiopia

Antibiotic susceptibility pattern and genotyping of campylobacter species isolated from children suffering from gastroenteritis

“…These differences could be due to the difference in geographical location and study period where Campylobacter is hyperendemic in developing countries owing to poor sanitation and close contact with animals in home. All Campylobacter-positive samples (5/125) were seen in children below 5 years of age which agree with results obtained by Mitikie et al, [43] and Taylor [47] who reported that Campylobacter infections are endemic in developing countries with peak isolation rate occurring in children less than 3-years old.…”

“…PCR assay revealed also that all campylobacter isolates were identified as C. jejuni that agrees with the findings of Eygor et al, [40] and Sáenz et al, [41] In the present study, the isolation rate of positive samples of Campylobacter spp. in the examined samples and that was proved by PCR was 4% from the total samples which was lower than that reported by Samuel et al, [42] (8.2%), Mitikie et al, [43] (10.5%), Kafetzis et al, [44] who isolated Campylobacter spp. from 9% of 294 stool samples of hospitalised children and Aboderin et al, [45] who reported a higher percentage (19.1%).…”

Prevalence of Shigella, Salmonella and Cmpylobacter Species and Their Susceptibility Patters Among Under Five Children With Diarrhea in Hawassa Town, South Ethiopia

“…The overall prevalence of enteric bacteria isolated in this study (22.2%) is comparable with previous studies conducted in Jimma (22.3%) (9) and Dembia District in Gondar (20.9%) (8). However, the prevalence of bacterial pathogen is lower compared with previous studies conducted in other developing countries such as Tanzania (42.7%) (19) and Mozambique (27.2%) (2).…”

“…In line with this, Campylobacter, Shigella and Salmonella species were isolated at the rates of 12.7%, 7% and 2.5% respectively. Comparable bacterial rates of isolates were reported from studies conducted in Jimma ( Campylobacter species 11.6%, Shigella species 4.9% and Salmonella species 5.8%) (9), Gondar ( Campylobacter species 10.5%, Shigella species 5.2% and Salmonella species 5.2%) (8) and Tikur Anbessa, Ethio-Swedish Children's Hospital ( Campylobacter species 13.7%, Shigella species 11.7% and Salmonella species 3.8%) (21). …”

“…A study conducted in Gondar on children with diarrhea isolated Campylobacter, Salmonella and Shigella species with prevalence of 10.5%, 5.2% and 5.2%respectively (8). Another related study conducted in Jimma also reported an isolation rate of 11.6%, 4.9% and 5.8% for Campylobacter, Salmonella and Shigella species respectively (9).…”
