Abstract
Aim: To study the prevalence
of different biotypes of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in the
study area.
Materials and Methods: A total of 150 samples comprising 90
chicken and 60 caecal content were collected from retail meat
market and processed for isolation of Campylobacter spp. 52
Campylobacter isolates obtained from raw poultry meat (6) and
caecal content (46) were subjected to biotyping using Lior's
biotyping scheme.
Results: Among the 52 Campylobacter isolates studied, 60.46
% isolates were identified as Campylobacter jejuni Biotype I and
39.53% were C. jejuni Biotype II, whereas 83.33 % were C. coli
Biotype I and 16.66 % C. coli Biotype II. No other biotypes were
identified.
Conclusions: The present study revealed that C. jejuni
Biotype I was more prevalent than Biotype II whereas in case of C.
coli, Biotype I was more prevalent than Biotype II providing basis
for further epidemiological study.
Keywords: biotype, Campylobacter, poultry, thermophilic.
