Isolation of Campylobacter sp in northeast region of São Paulo State – Brazil
Keywords:
Campylobacter sp., Diarrhea., Extraintestinal infection.Abstract
Campylobacter spp. are pathogenic or commensal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of domestic and wild animals. When, sprayed in the environment they contaminatethe water collections, pastures and plantations. They are isolated from the environment and animals, especially mammals, birds and poultries. The thermophilic species, particularly C. jejuni and C. coli are recognized worldwide as etiological agents of acute diarrhea in humans, as well as extraintestinal infections in humans. This study aimed to assess the occurrence of campylobacteriosis in Regional Network of Assistance to Health (RRAS-13) - São Paulo – Brazil. The samples were diagnosed at the Adolfo Lutz Institute - Regional Laboratory Center of Ribeirão Preto (IAL-CLR-RP), during the period from 1987 to 2013. Isolation and identification of Campylobacter spp. were performed in accordance with the traditional methodology. The present study evaluated 2,534 fecal samples being 279 (11.0%) positive cultures for Campylobacter spp.: 63.1% C. jejuni, 3.9% C. coli, 0.4% C. laridis, and 32.6% Campylobacter spp. In 44 (15.8%) samples it was seen association of Campylobacter spp. with other pathogenic bacteria. It is necessary constant vigilance to reduce the occurrence of campylobacteriosis in the studiedregion, especially C. jejuni.
