In this study, 300 samples consisted of chicken meats, ground beef, and gallbladder of cattle and sheep were collected from various markets, butchers and abattoirs in the Eastern Anatolia region in Turkey. The samples were evaluated for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. Campylobacter spp. was isolated from 16 (5.3%) of the samples by conventional methods. The isolates were identified by biochemical analyses and the polymerase chain reaction technique, which revealed that 12 (75%) of samples were Campylobacter jejuni while 4 (25%) of them were Campylobacter coli. As a result, it was considered that Campylobacter species, an important category of microorganisms causing acute bacterial gastroenteritis in humans, are commonly transmitted through foods in animal origin. Key words: Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Cattle meat, Chicken meat, Sheep meat. Farklı Hayvansal Gıdalarda Campylobacter jejuni ve Campylobacter coli’nin
Bu araştırmada Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde bulunan farklı market, kasap ve kesimhanelerden alınan tavuk eti, koyun eti (kıyma), sığır eti (kıyma) ve safra kesesi olmak üzere toplam 300 örnek incelendi. Tüm örnekler Campylobacter jejuni ve Campylobacter coli yönünden incelendi. Konvansiyonel metodlar ile örneklerin 16’sında (%5.3) Campylobacter spp. pozitif bulundu. İzolatlar biyokimyasal analizler ve PCR tekniği ile tanımlandı. İzolatların 12’sinde (%75) Campylobacter jejuni ve 4’ünde (%25) Campylobacter coli identifiye edildi. Sonuç olarak, Campylobacter türlerinin, genellikle insanlara hayvansal gıdalarla bulaşan akut bakteriyel gastroenteritise sebep olan önemli zoonozlardan olduğu düşünülmektedir.
