背景1996年，弯曲杆菌肠炎是澳大利亚最常见的传染病，弯曲杆菌与肠外感染如化脓性关节炎和格林-巴利综合征有关。犬和猫是已知的弯曲杆菌和接触的家庭宠物已牵连作为可能的来源，人类infection. ObjectiveTo提供的信息弯曲杆菌的物种所携带的猫和狗在南澳.方法粪便标本收集流浪和拥有的猫和狗和野猫。使用选择性培养基和过滤方法分离弯曲杆菌样生物体。然后通过生化测试，抗生素抗性和各种条件下的生长模式对其进行表征。畜牧业因素，可能会影响的携带率进行了检查，作为单变量和多变量logistic regulation.Results弯曲杆菌upsaliensis和空肠弯曲菌被发现在11%和4%的猫，分别，而34%的狗携带C upsaliensis，7%的空肠弯曲菌和2%的大肠杆菌。密集的住房和明沟被认为是显着的危险因素，并增加携带率的2和2.6倍，respectively.Conclusion狗和猫是一个潜在的水库人类肠道感染弯曲杆菌。
Background Campylobacter enteritis was the most frequently notified infectious disease in Australia in 1996 and Campylobacter species have been associated with extraintestinal infections such as purulent arthritis and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Dogs and cats are known to carry campylobacteria and contact with household pets have been implicated as possible sources of human infection.Objective To provide information on the species of Campylobacter carried by cats and dogs in South Australia.Methods Faecal samples were collected from stray and owned cats and dogs and feral cats. Campylobacter-like organisms were isolated using selective media and filtration methods. They were then characterised by biochemical tests, antibiotic resistance and growth patterns under various conditions. Husbandry factors that could have influenced the carriage rates were examined both as single variables and in a multivariate logistic regression.Results Campylobacter upsaliensis and C jejuni were found in 11% and 4% of cats, respectively, whereas 34% dogs carried C upsaliensis, 7% C jejuni and 2% C coli. Intensive housing and open drains were found to be significant risk factors and increased the carriage rate by 2 and 2.6 times, respectively.Conclusion Dogs and cats are a potential reservoir for human enteric infections with Campylobacters.
