The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of
Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. lari and C. lanienae which are the most
common causes of acute bacterial gastroenteritis in humans, in clinically
healthy cattle, sheep and chickens. A total number of 2700 abattoir samples
containing 150 intestinal contents and 150 gall bladders from each of
the animal species in each of the three provinces located in the east of
Turkey. Following the inoculation of the samples onto modified Charcoal
Cefoperazone Deoxycholate Agar (mCCDA), Campylobacter spp. was
isolated from 24.7% (667/2700). In the analysis of the isolates with speciesspecific
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the identification percentages
of Campylobacter species were determined as 78.1% for C. jejuni, 23.7% for
C. coli, 1.2% for C. lanienae and 1.0% for C. lari. To the authors’ knowledge,
this study reports the isolation of C. lanienae in animals for the first time in
Turkey and in chickens species for the first time in the world.
