Trends in antibiotic sensitivity pattern and molecular detection of tet(O)-mediated tetracycline resistance in campylobacter jejuni isolates from human and poultry sources.

摘要: SUMMARY: This study was conducted to determine the trends in Campylobacter antibiotic resistance occurring our setting and assess differences isolates using patterns of plasmid profiles. One hundred jejuni strains human poultry origin isolated 2002 - 2003 (phase A) 2005 2006 B) Kingdom Bahrain were evaluated. Susceptibility erythromycin, ciprofloxacin tetracycline determined, extraction polymerase chain reaction detection tet(O) gene carried out. A single erythromycin-resistant isolate identified, sharp contrast high which also showed an increment phase B. Tetracycline higher chicken (80.9%) compared (41.3%) (P < 0.01). Most harbored two plasmids (23 kb 35 kb) with significant correlation between carriage isolates. The findings show continued effectiveness erythromycin for campylobacteriosis but increasing trend resistance. is most likely due transfer carrying
