Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in Healthy Monkeys and Monkeys with Enteric Infections by PCR

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Campylobacter were detected by PCR in feces of monkeys of different species (clinically healthy, with diarrhea, and dead from acute enteric infections). High prevalence of these bacteria in monkeys was revealed. The incidence of C. jejuni DNA in monkeys with acute enteric infections was higher than in healthy animals (69.6 and 51.3%, respectively). The highest percentage (92.3) of positive results was observed in Macaca mulatta with enteric diseases and in macaque dead of these diseases. The presence of C. jejuni in monkeys with diarrhea and the absence of pathogenic enterobacteria (Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia) in feces probably attest to etiological relationship of acute enteric infections with Campylobacter.
