Campylobacterjejuni, etc ; biofilm; genes; mutagens; mutants; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Currently, it is clear that the luxS gene has an impact on the process of biofilm formation in Campylobacter jejuni. However, even within the species, naturally occurring strains of Campylobacter lacking the luxS gene exist, which can form biofilms. In order to better understand the genetic determinants and the role of quorum sensing through the LuxS/AI-2 pathway in biofilm formation, a set of mut ...
Campylobacterjejuni, etc ; Salmonella; coculture; poultry; serotypes; Europe; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Campylobacter and Salmonella are responsible for the two major foodborne zoonotic diseases in Europe; poultry is the main infection source. Campylobacter cannot grow under aerobic conditions, but can show aerobic survival when co-cultured with other microorganisms; however, its interaction with Salmonella has not been studied yet. In this study, these two bacteria were co-cultured under controlled ...

Abstract:
... Campylobacter jejuni is a globally important foodborne pathogen that can exist environmentally in a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state, leading to missed detection of VBNC cells in food and false results in epidemiological surveillance. To establish a method for its resuscitation from the VBNC state and enable better detection, the mechanisms by which C. jejuni are induced into the VBNC state ...

Abstract:
... Campylobacter coli and C. jejuni, the causing agents of campylobacteriosis, are described to be undergoing introgression events, i.e., the transference of genetic material between different species, with some isolates sharing almost a quarter of its genome. The participation of phages in introgression events and consequent impact on host ecology and evolution remain elusive. Three distinct prophag ...

Abstract:
... Foodborne pathogens have become a major concern not only due to the diseases they cause, but also because of the rise of antibiotic resistant strains in human and animals. The purposes of this study were to determine the occurrence of Campylobacter jejuni and Escherichia coli and their antibiotic resistance profiles in wild birds, chickens, humans, and the environment in Malay villages in Malaysia ...

Abstract:
... In this study, an ultrasensitive dual-mode assay was successfully developed for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni). Based on circular dichroism and surface-enhanced Raman scattering generated from DNA-driven double-layer core-satellite gold nanostructures, the concentration of C. jejuni can be efficiently quantified in the ranges of 10²-5 × 10⁶ cfu⋅mL⁻¹ and 10²-10⁷ cfu⋅mL⁻¹, respect ...

Abstract:
... GDSL domain-containing proteins generally hydrolyze esters or lipids and play critical roles in diverse biological and industrial processes. GDSL hydrolases use catalytic triad and oxyanion hole residues from conserved blocks I, II, III, and V to drive the esterase reaction. However, GDSL hydrolases exhibit large deviations in sequence, structure, and substrate specificity, requiring the character ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: The aim of the study was to develop a microarray‐based method for the detection of antibiotic‐resistant Campylobacter in broiler farms to decrease the risk of contamination of chicken meat. METHODS AND RESULTS: A combination of DNA microarray and primer extension for rapid and simultaneous detection of fluoroquinolone‐ and macrolide‐resistant Campylobacter jejuni/Campylobacter coli, termed C ...

Abstract:
... Cognition is likely to have fundamental effects on the behaviour and fitness of animals, but measuring cognitive abilities can be a challenge because performance on cognitive tests can be influenced by ‘noncognitive’ factors. Parasitic infections, for example, could lead to temporary changes in the ability or motivation of an individual to participate in cognitive tasks, thereby altering cognitive ...
Campylobacterjejuni, etc ; bacteria; biosynthesis; immune system; mass spectrometry; polysaccharides; sequence analysis; serotypes; Europe; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of food poisoning in the United States and Europe. A capsular polysaccharide that coats the exterior of the bacterium helps evade the host immune system. At least 33 different strains of C. jejuni have been identified, and the chemical structures of 12 different capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) have been characterized from various serotypes. Thus far, 10 di ...

Abstract:
... Engineered nanoparticles have been explored for their potential to serve as additives to foods, their packages, and contact surfaces because they are stable in a wide range of harsh environments and display inherent antimicrobial properties. However, while nanometer sized particles have demonstrated unique properties that can potentially benefit food technologies, size and shape of the particles m ...

This study aimed to identify molecular markers associated with antimicrobial resistance and genotype isolates of Campylobacter spp. from broiler and swine flocks due to its importance to one-health. C. jejuni (n=27) and C. coli (n = 35) strains were screened for the antimicrobial genetic markers C257T in gyrA, A2074C and A2075G in 23S rRNA, CmeABC, ermB, tetO and blaOXA61 by PCR.

Abstract:
... Bacteriophage (phage) is regarded as an antimicrobial alternative for Campylobacter in food production. However, the development of phage resistance to the host is a main concern for the phage application. This study characterized the phage CP39 and investigated the phage resistance of CP39 in Campylobacter jejuni NCTC12662. We determined that phage CP39 belonged to the Myoviridae family by the WG ...

Abstract:
... Background: Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a common cause of mostly self-limiting enterocolitis. Although rare, myocarditis has been increasingly documented as a complication following campylobacteriosis. Such cases have occurred predominantly in younger males and involved a single causative species, namely C. jejuni. Case report: We report herein a case of myocarditis complicating gastroente ...

Campylobacter data of culture media (116) and poultry (19) were collected from Microbial Responses Viewer, an additional tool of ComBase. The Weibull equation was selected as a suitable model for the analysis of surviv ...
... This is the first study on campylobacteriosis carried out in Georgia. It targeted 382 hospitalized children with acute inflammatory diarrhea. The study was conducted between July 2020 to July 2021 based on the main infection clinic of the capital city. Culture-based bacteriological methods were followed by phenotypic and Real-time PCR tests for bacterial confirmation and identification. The data r ...
... Poultry is generally recognized as the main source of human campylobacteriosis and Campylobacter is highly prevalent at the farm level. To reduce the relative risk of human campylobacteriosis attributable to broiler meat, it is necessary to reduce Campylobacter loads in broiler ceca but to date, no effective, reliable and practical strategy is available. The marine environment is a rich source of ...
... Foodborne illness constitutes a substantial health and economic burden on society, and most cases are believed to be due to mishandling of food practices. This study aimed to establish the relationship between food handling practices and Campylobacter contamination in commercial restaurant kitchens. The handling practices of chefs during chicken preparation were observed and recorded. Thirty-three ...

Abstract:
... Campylobacter on poultry meat needs to be controlled to reduce the risk of infection caused by the consumption of chicken meat. Pulsed light (PL) application on poultry meat was studied to control Campylobacter spp. The effect of this technology was evaluated regarding poultry meat colour and volatile compound changes. Two breast sample groups were prepared: inoculated with Campylobacter (10⁷ bact ...
