Koyunlarda Campylobacter Taşıyıcılığı ve Serum Antikor Düzeyleri Arasındaki ilişki

Bu çalışmada . mezbahada kesilen koyunların safra keselerinde Campylobacter türlerinin ve serumlarında anti-Campylobacter antikarlarının sıklıgı incelendi. Dokuz farklı orijinden gelen ı80 koyunun % 52.8'inin safra keselerinden Campylobacter'ler izole edildi. İzolasyon oranları, 7-8 aylık koyunlarda% 33.3, 2-3 yaşlı koyunlarda% 59.3 olarak belirlendi. izole edilen 95 Campylobacter suşunun, 66'sı C.jetus subsp.jetus, 22'si C.jejuni ve Tsi C. coli olarak identiliye edildi. Komplement fikzasyon testinde, 180 koyunun% 36.7'sı 1:4'ten 1:32'ye kadar degişen titrelerde C. jetus subsp. fetus antijenine karşı pozitif reaksiyon verdi. Kuzuların % 22.2'sinde, erişkin koyunların% 41.5'inde serapozitiflik saptandı. Kuzu serumlarının çogu 1:4 titrede pozitif bulunurken, pozitif erişkin koyun serumları 1 :4- 1 :32 titreler arasında nisbeten dengeli dagılım gösterdi. C.jetus subsp. fetus izole edilen koyunların çogu (% 84.4) aynı zamanda serapozitif bulunurken, C. jejuni/ co li izole edilen koyunların sadece % 17 .2'si seropozitif bulundu. Bu durum iki Campylobacter grubu arasında düşük düzeyde antijenik ilişki oldugunu gösterdi. Bu bulgular, Campylobacter'lerin özellikle erişkin koyunların safra keselerinde yaygın oldugunu ve asemptomatik Campylobacter taşıyıcılıgının önemli düzeyde antikor üretimine neden olabilecegini gösterdi. Ayrıca, halen kullanılan pozitiflik kriterleri ile komplement fikzasyon testinin, asemptomatik taşıyıcıları ve abort yapan koyunları ayıramayacagı belirlendi. Sonuç olarak, abortif Campylobacter infeksiyonlarının teşhisi için kullanılan komplement fikzasyon testinin pozitiflik kriterleri ve antijen spektrumunun tekrar gözden geçirilmesi gerektigi kanısına varıldı.

The Relationship Between Campylobacter Colonization And Serum Antibody Levels in Sheep

In this study, the prevaience of Campylobacter spp. in the gallbladder and anti-Campylobacter antibodies in the sera of slaughtered sheep were investigated. Campylobacters were isolated from 52.8 % of gallbladders of ı8o sheep from nine different origins. Isolation rates were determined as 33.3 % in 7-8 months old sheep. and 59.3 % in 2-3 years old ones. Out of 95 Campylobacter strains isolated, 66 were identified as C. jetus subsp. jetus. 22 as C. jejuni and 7 as C. coli. In complement fıxatlon test, 36.7% of sera from ı80 sheep gave positlve reactlons against C.jetus subsp.jetus antigen. Seropositlvity was detected in 22.2% of lambs, and 4ı.5% of older sheep. The most of the sera from lambs were found positive at ı:4 tlter, whereas the positive sera from mature sheep showed a relatlvely homogenous distribution with titers from 1:4 to 1:32. The most (84.8 %) of sheep from which C.jetus subsp.jetus was isolated were also found as seropositlve. Only 17.2% of sheep from which C.jejuni/coli was isolated, were found as seropositlve, indicating the low level of antlgenic relationship between these two groups of campylobacters. These findings showed that campylobacters were common in the gallbladder of sheep, particularly in older ones and asymptomatic carriage of campylobacters could cause antibody production in a considerable level. It was also determined that complement fıxation test with currently used criteria was inadequate to differentlate the asymptomatically infected and aborted sheep. It was concluded that the diagnostic criteria and antigen spectrum of complement fıxation test to detect abortlve Campylobacter infection should be reevaluated.
