Abstract

Campylobacter is of major significance in food safety and human and veterinary medicine. This study highlighted resistance situation in the area of veterinary public health in Ghana. Using selective mCCDA agar, isolates were confirmed phenotypically on API CAMPY and genotypically by multiplex PCR of IpxA gene. The susceptibility profile of species to common and relevant antibiotics was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Cattle, sheep, goat, and pig faecal samples analysed, respectively, yielded 13.2% (16/121), 18.6% (22/102), 18.5% (25/135), and 28.7% (29/101) Campylobacter species while 34.5% (38/110), 35.9% (42/117), 23.9% (32/134), and 36.3% (37/102) were, respectively, recovered from the carcasses. Species identified in faeces were C. jejuni 35.8% (33/92), C. jejuni subsp. doylei 4.3% (4/92), C. coli 47.8% (44/92), and C. lari 12.0% (11/92). Species discovered in carcasses were C. jejuni 83.9% (125/149), C. jejuni subsp. doylei 2.0% (3/149), C. coli 6.0% (9/149), and C. lari 8.1% (12/149). Resistance ranged from 92 to 97% to the β -lactams, 7 to 69% to the quinolones, 0 to 44% to the aminoglycosides, 97 to 100% to erythromycin, 48 to 94% to tetracycline, 45 to 88% to chloramphenicol, and 42 to 86% to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole as 0% resistance was observed against imipenem.

  • Campylobacter spp. had resistance prevalence of 44% to ciprofloxacin, 81% to tetracycline, 81% to ampicillin, 56% to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and 88% to chloramphenicol in another study.

    “while another reported a resistance prevalence of 44% to ciprofloxacin, 81% to tetracycline, 81% to ampicillin, 56% to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 88% to chloramphenicol [52].”

    From A Systematic Review on Antimicrobial Resistance in Ghana from a One Health Perspective (2024) · cites this paper as [52]

    Section 3.4 reports all five percentages, but specifically for Campylobacter isolates from cattle faeces. The citing sentence omits that restriction and could be read as giving prevalence across the study’s isolates. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Four animal studies reported MDR traits ranging from 20% to 66.6% in Campylobacter spp.

    “Four “animal studies” reported MDR traits ranging from 20% to 66.6% in Campylobacter spp. [50,52,53,55].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
