Abstract

A total of 386 dogs and 122 cats were investigated for thermophilic Campylobacter. From April to August 1992, Campylobacter was isolated from 12 canine (3.1%) and 1 feline (0.8%) cases, and all the isolates were identified as Campylobacter jejuni. The positive dogs were 7 of 52 (13.5%) younger than 1-year-old, 2 of 98 (2.0%) 1-to 3-year-old, 1 of 69 (1.4%) 3-to 5-year-old, 1 of 128 (0.8%) 5-to 10-year-old, and 1 of 37 (2.7%) over-10-year-old dogs, respectively. The carrier rates in diarrheic and non-diarrheic cases were 10.7% and 2.5%, respectively. Of 60-canine-isolates, 20 (33.3%) were resistant to penicillin (PC) and tetracycline (TC) and 2 (3.3%) to PC and ampicillin (ABPC), 5 (8.3%) to TC, and 3 (5.0%) to PC, respectively. Five isolates from a 2-year-old cat were susceptible to all the drugs examined.
