Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli are commensals in the gastrointestinal tract of warm-blooded animals and they are regarded as the most important causes of human gastroenteritis infections worldwide. Campylobacteriosis is a self-limiting disease; however, antimicrobial treatment is highly recommended in severe infections and immunocompromised patients. The antimicrobial treatment is complicated due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains that must be controlled to avoid the treatment failure. Of note, molecular techniques such as PCR-RFLP can help in the rapid detection of campylobacter resistant strains and can also help in understanding the resistance mechanisms that will help the public health specialists in the management of Campylobacter infection.
Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Campylobacter spp. from children and chicken origins in Sharkia Governorate and also to assess the FQ- resistance in Campylobacter spp. using broth microdilution and PCR- RFLP techniques.
