| campylobacter cuniculorum sp. nov., from rabbits. | eight strains of an unknown thermotolerant campylobacter species were isolated from the caecal contents of rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus). all strains were initially identified as belonging to the genus campylobacter by means of genus-specific pcr, but none were identified using species-specific pcr for known thermophilic species. cells were spiral shaped with bipolar unsheathed flagella, with no periplasmic fibres, and appeared coccoid after 10-12 days of incubation. phylogenetic analyses base ... | 2009 | 19542108 |
| helicobacter marmotae, novel helicobacter sp. and campylobacter sp. isolated from livers and intestines of prairie dogs. | prairie dogs (cynomys ludovicianus) are used to study the etiology and prevention of gallstones because of the similarities of prairie dog and human bile gallstone composition. epidemiologic and experimental studies have suggested a connection between helicobacter spp. infection and cholesterol cholelithiasis, cholecystis and gallbladder cancer. ten of thirty four prairie dogs in our study had positive helicobacter spp. identified by pcr with helicobacter genus-specific primers (c97, co5). fourt ... | 2011 | 21546560 |
| occurrence of ε-proteobacterial species in rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) reared in intensive and rural farms. | in order to investigate the occurrence of campylobacter, helicobacter and arcobacter species in caecal contents of rabbits reared in intensive and rural farms, a total of 87 samples from animals belonging to 29 farms were analysed by both cultural and pcr analyses. pcr analysis directly from faecal samples detected 100% positive samples for campylobacter genus, 3.4% for helicobacter genus and none for arcobacter genus. 83 out of 87 animals (95.4%) and all the 29 farms were positive for campyloba ... | 2013 | 22944072 |
| antimicrobial susceptibility of campylobacter cuniculorum isolated from rabbits reared in intensive and rural farms. | the present study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility in campylobacter cuniculorum. to do so, 29 isolates from rabbits reared in 18 intensive and 11 rural farms not epidemiologically correlated were tested. minimum inhibitory concentration of 8 antimicrobial agents was determined using the agar dilution method recommended by the clinical and laboratory standards institute (wayne, pa, usa), modified - for what supplements in the base medium and incubation conditions concern - fo ... | 2016 | 27853713 |
| complete genome sequence of the campylobacter cuniculorum type strain lmg 24588. | campylobacter cuniculorum is a thermotolerant species isolated from farmed rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus). although c. cuniculorum is highly prevalent in rabbits farmed for human consumption, the pathogenicity of this organism in humans is still unknown. this study describes the whole-genome sequence of the c. cuniculorum type strain lmg 24588 (=ccug 56289(t)). | 2017 | 28619810 |
