A total of 134 samples of rectal and cloacal swabs taken from apparently healthy domestic animals that were in 43 of 76 homes located in rural Ghana were examined for Campylobacter jejuni. C. jejuni was isolated from 32.8% (44/134) of the animals. The highest isolation rate of 43.6% was from local domestic fowls, followed by goats (33.3%) and sheep (23%). This organism was not detected in the pigs, cats, and ducks. All 44 strains of this bacterium produced hydrogen sulphide and hydrolyzed hippurate; antibiogram on 24 strains showed resistance to cephalothin, cephalexin, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. C. jejuni biotype 2 is the prevailing strain in animals in the area studied.
从加纳农村76户家庭中的43户明显健康的家畜采集了共计134份直肠和泄殖腔拭子样本,检测空肠弯曲菌。空肠弯曲菌从32.8%(44/134)的动物中分离出来。最高分离率为43.6%,来自当地家鸡,其次是山羊(33.3%)和绵羊(23%)。在猪、猫和鸭中未检测到这种微生物。所有44株这种细菌都产生硫化氢并水解马尿酸盐;对24株菌株的抗菌谱显示对头孢噻吩、头孢氨苄和磺胺甲恶唑/甲氧苄啶耐药。空肠弯曲菌生物型2是研究区域动物中的主要菌株。
