In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility, genetic diversity and prevalence of UDP-glucose 4-epimerase (galE) gene in Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni from Turkey production facilities.

Abstract excerpt

This study evaluated the genetic diversity of multi-drug resistant Campylobacter jejuni (n=44) and C. coli (n=30) isolated from 18 turkey houses. Antimicrobial resistances to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid were higher (P<0.05) in C. coli than in C. jejuni strains. PCR analysis indicated that 82% of total isolates tested, including 91% of C. jejuni and 70% of C. coli tested positive for a 496-bp...
