چکیده
BACKGROUND: Campylobacteriosis is one of the most common
bacterial intestinal disorders of humans in many countries.
A wide range of domestic and wild bird species have been identified
as natural reservoirs. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study
was to determine the Campylobacter spp from pet birds and
screen the determined Campylobacters for presence of virulence
cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes. METHODS: A total
of 660 fecal samples from 32 different species of pet birds were
taken and examined for detection of Campylobacter spp. and
were investigated for presence of cdt genes. All the samples
were collected from clinically healthy birds that were kept in
cage, zoological parks, and/ or in zoo of Tehran, the capital of
Iran. RESULTS: In total, 20 thermophilic Campylobacter were
detected from 8 different avian species. From 20 confirmed
Campylobacter spp., 16 samples (80%) were C. jejuni positive
and 4 (20%) were C. coli in species-specific PCR test. Furthermore,
out of 20 detected Campylobacter, 13 (65%) harbored
the various subunits of cdtA, cdtB and cdtC genes, and 7 (35%)
were negative for all tested cdt genes. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings
indicate that the carriage rate of Campylobacter in different
species of cage and/or in zoo birds is high and confirm that
cdt genes may frequently be present in campylobacter spp.
