| chicken as potential contamination source of campylobacter lari in iquitos, peru. | in order to know the importance of chicken as natural reservoir of campylobacter lari in iquitos, peru; samples were obtained by cloacal swabs from 200 chickens and immediately placed into a semisolid enrichment medium; these were streaked on modified skirrow agar. the organism was isolated from 21 (10.5%) samples, corresponding 58.8% to biovar i and 41.2% to biovar ii (lior scheme). the results provide evidence that chicken appear to be prominent reservoirs of campylobacter lari in iquitos. | 1994 | 7569622 |
| [isolation of thermotolerant species of campylobacter from 2 populations of chickens bred in confinement and at liberty]. | the 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. | 1995 | 8731279 |
