Abstract

Dogs are known as asymptomatic carriers forCampylobacter jejuni. The number of pet dogs is increasing in Egypt in the last decade. This study aimed to investigate the frequency ofC. jejuni infection in dogs and humans, molecular typing of associated virulence genes, and flaA-SVR gene using sequencing. 152 unpaired fecal swabs from dogs (n = 72) and humans (80) were examined for the presence of C. jejuni and Campylobacter 23S rRNA, and the pathogenicity genes including mapA genes, virB11, flaA, wlaN, iam, tetO, and aadA genes. Sequencing of the flaA- amplicon was also performed for the representative isolates. The isolation rate ofC. jejuni was 20.8 % and 31.2 %, respectively in dogs and humans, and all isolates were tested positive for 23S rRNA and mapA genes. C. jejuni harbor virB11 and wlaN (20 %, 0%), iam (10 %, 20 %), tetO and aadA1 (40 %, both), and flaA (40 %, 20 %) in human and dog strains, respectively. The flaA-SVR sequences revealed high identity between human and dog isolates (94.8 %), but revealed 18 substitutions in the amino acid sequence, and showed that the dog and human C. jejuni were close to strains isolated from human and poultry sources. this study demonstrated the comparative sequence analysis ofC. jejuni ...Continue Reading
