Aislamiento de especies termotolerantes de Campylobacter en dos poblaciones de pollos criados con y sin confinamiento Isolation of thermotolerant Campylobacter species from two populations of chickens bred in confinement and at liberty

Abstract

Se estudió la frecuencia del aislamiento de Campylobacter spp. en pollos domésticos y pollos mantenidos en confinamiento permanente, en la ciudad de Iquitos (Perú). Campylobacter spp. fue aislado en 54,0% en el primer grupo y 35,0% en el segundo (pEstudou-se a freqüência de isolamento de Campylobacter spp. em frangos domésticos e frangos mantidos em confinamento permanente, na cidade de lquitos (Peru). Campylobacter spp. foi isolado em 54,0% no primeiro grupo e 35,0% no segundo (pThe isolation rates of thermotolerant Campylobacter species in free-ranging domestic chickens and confined chickens from Iquitos city, Peru, were determined. Campylobacter spp. were isolated in 54,0% of the former group of chickens, being less frequent (35,0%) in the latter (p<0,05). Of the classical thermotolerant species, C. jejuni and C. coli were the most frequent. However, the presence C. lari suggests that the chickens might be an important reservoir of this bacterium.
