“…Campylobacter isolates displayed the lowest resistance to ampicillin (3.57%), chloramphenicol (3.57%), erythromycin (3.57%), and streptomycin (7.14%). Although low rates of resistance to erythromycin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and gentamicin have been reported by other investigators (Little et al 2008;Rahimi et al 2013;Jonaidi-Jafari et al 2016), a high prevalence of resistance to erythromycin was observed in other studies (Van Looveren et al 2001;Ge et al 2003).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. and antimicrobial resistance profiles isolated from in livestock feces in Isfahan, Iran. A total of 400 fecal of livestock samples were collected, and the presence of Campylobacter species was studied by culture and polymerase chain reaction-based assays and antimicrobial susceptibility test. A total of 28 Campylobacter isolates including 22 Campylobacter jejuni and 6 Campylobacter coli were recovered from feces of livestock. The prevalence rates of Campylobacter spp. were observed in this study in sheep (10%), goat (8%), cattle (5.3%), and camel (4%). The highest prevalence of Campylobacter spp. was found in the summer (10%) and the lowest was in winter (4%). Among the isolates from livestock, both C. jejuni and C. coli from fecal samples had the highest frequency of tetracycline (75.1%) and ciprofloxacin (57.1%) resistance. The results of this study showed a high prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in livestock feces in Isfahan, Iran. The presence of Campylobacter in livestock feces can contaminate the environmental and human food chain. Therefore, detection of Campylobacter spp. in livestock-originated samples is important to identify possible sources of infection and to have that a better understanding of the epidemiology of infection virulence genes of isolates is considered essential.

“…Hong et al ( 2007 ) reported that 93.4% Campylobacter strains from Korean beef samples were resistant to multiple antimicrobials and detected high resistance to tetracycline (94.6%). Campylobacter isolated from raw beef in Iran demonstrated the highest resistance to tetracycline (Rahimi et al, 2013 ). Campylobacter resistance to the tetracycline was mainly mediated through tet (O) plasmid (Pratt and Korolik, 2005 ) and worldwide 60–100% C. jejuni and C. coli were reported to carry tetracycline-resistant plasmids (Lee et al, 1994 ; Kim et al, 2010 ).…”

“…Further, Campylobacter spp. isolated from raw meat in Iran were resistant to gentamicin and chloramphenicol 3.2 and 6.5%, respectively (Rahimi et al, 2013 ). Contrary to the current study, Campylobacter isolates in beef from Korea showed high resistant to ciprofloxacin (95.9%) and nalidixic acid (94.6%) in Hong et al ( 2007 ).…”

Campylobacter is a major foodborne pathogen frequently associated with human bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter spp. in the beef food system in Malaysia. A total of 340 samples consisting of cattle feces (n = 100), beef (n = 120) from wet markets and beef (n = 120) from hypermarkets were analyzed for Campylobacter spp. The overall prevalence of Campylobacter was 17.4%, consisting of 33% in cattle fecal samples, 14.2% in raw beef from wet market and 7.5% in raw beef from the hypermarket. The multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identified 55% of the strains as C. jejuni, 26% as C. coli, and 19% as other Campylobacter spp. A high percentage of Campylobacter spp. were resistant to tetracycline (76.9%) and ampicillin (69.2%), whilst low resistance was exhibited to chloramphenicol (7.6%). The MAR Index of Campylobacter isolates from this study ranged from 0.09 to 0.73. The present study indicates the potential public health risk associated with the beef food system, hence stringent surveillance, regulatory measures, and appropriate interventions are required to minimize Campylobacter contamination and prudent antibiotic usage that can ensure consumer safety.

“…is an endemic disease in Iran, which was reported in human, sheep, cattle, chicken and camel from different areas, especially central provinces of Iran (Pour Reza, 2013).Khuzestan provinces, southwest of Iran, 2.3% of camel meat was positive for C. jejuni and C. coli(Rahimi, Ameri, Alimoradi, Chakeri, & Bahrami, 2013).This evidence suggests that camel and its meat can be a source of Campylobacter spp. infection in humans in Iran.…”

Approximately 60% of all human pathogens and 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic (of animal origin). Camel zoonotic diseases can be encountered in all camel‐rearing countries. In this article, all studies carried out on camel zoonotic diseases in Iran are reviewed to show the importance of camels for public health in this country. More than 900 published documents were systematically searched to find relevant studies from 1,890 until late 2018. The collected articles were classified according to the aetiological agents. In this study, 19 important zoonotic diseases were reported among Iranian camels including listeriosis, leptospirosis, plague, Q fever, brucellosis, campylobacteriosis, tuberculosis, pasteurellosis, clostridiosis, salmonellosis, Escherichia coli infections, rabies, camelpox, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever, echinococcosis, cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis and dermatophytosis, most of which belong to bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal pathogens, respectively. Results show that camels are one of the most important sources of infections and diseases in human; therefore, continuous monitoring and inspection programs are necessary to prevent the outbreak of zoonotic diseases caused by this animal in humans.
