A total of 255 samples of droppings collected from a total of 22 different poultry units were examined for the presence of thermophilic campylobacters and the isolates biotyped using Skirrow's protocol. The organisms were isolated from 90 (35.3%) of all samples. Among the 22 units investigated, 13 (59%) were found to have unsatisfactory management systems, while 7 (32%) and 2 (9%) were found to have unsatisfactory and good systems respectively. Significantly large numbers of isolations, 68 of 147 (46.2%), were made from samples collected from poultry units with poor management (P < 0.005), compared with 19 out of 84 (22.6%) samples which were collected from satisfactory units and 3 out of 24 (12.5%) samples collected from units exercising particularly good management. Nineteen of 72 (26.4%) samples collected from broilers, 32 out of 132 (24.2%) samples collected from layers and 39 out of 51 (76.49%) samples collected from indigenous free range poultry were positive for campylobacters. Among the 90 strains isolated from various units, 64 (70.1%) were Campylobacter jejuni, 25 (27.7%) were C. coli, and only 1 (2.2%) was C. laridis.
共从22个不同的家禽养殖单元收集了255份粪便样本,检测其中嗜热弯曲杆菌的存在情况,并按照斯基罗方法对分离菌株进行生物分型。在所有样本中,90份(35.3%)分离出了该微生物。在所调查的22个养殖单元中,13个(59%)被发现管理系统不佳,7个(32%)和2个(9%)分别被发现管理系统不满意和良好。与从管理良好的单元收集的24份样本中的3份(12.5%)以及从管理令人满意的单元收集的84份样本中的19份(22.6%)相比,从管理不善的家禽养殖单元收集的样本中分离出的数量显著更多,147份中有68份(46.2%)(P<0.005)。从肉鸡收集的72份样本中有19份(26.4%)、从蛋鸡收集的132份样本中有32份(24.2%)以及从本地散养家禽收集的51份样本中有39份(76.49%)弯曲杆菌呈阳性。在从各个单元分离出的90株菌株中,64株(70.1%)为空肠弯曲杆菌,25株(27.7%)为大肠弯曲杆菌,只有1株(2.2%)为拉氏弯曲杆菌。
