English Abstract
Background and objectives: The incidence and antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter jejuni Infections continues to rise worldwide.
The aim of this study was to detect the incidence of Campylobacter jejuni Infections in infant's diarrheic specimens, poultry cloacal swabs, and environmental surface raw water from Duhok regions.
Also, determination of susceptibility test and biotyping patterns of the isolates was studied.
Methods: A total number of 572 samples were collected, from June to November 2006, consisted of 267 samples from infant's diarrheic specimens, 177 samples from poultry cloacal swabs, and 128 samples from environmental surface raw water from Duhok regions.
Isolation and identification of the organisms was carried out by conventional standard methods.
Results: The results confirmed 48 (8.39%) isolates as Campylobacter jejuni out of 572 collected samples.
Of them, 30 (62.5%) isolates were from poultry cloacal swabs, 9 (18.75%) isolates from infant feces, and 9 (18.75%) isolates from surface raw water samples.
Biotyping scheme showed predominate biotype I comprising 64.6%, followed by biotype II, III and IV with percentages 27.1%, 6.2% and 2.1% respectively.
Susceptibility rates were variable as ciprofloxacin 91.6%, followed by gentamicin 70.8%, chloramphenicol 66.7%, nitrofurantoin 75%, erythromycin 45.8%, co-trimoxazole 43.3%, ampicillin 16.6% and cephalothin 2.1%.
Conclusions: Low incidence rate of Campylobacter jejuni in infants feces and surface raw water samples while high proportion were in poultry cloacal swabs .most Isolates showed diversity in biotyping patterns with highly sensitivity to ciprofloxacin and highly resistant to ampicillin and cephalothin.
