| description | In this study, we aimed to evaluate the microbiological, molecular and pathological findings of abortus cases detected in a sheep herd
consist of 200 animals. Macroscopically, irregular necrotic foci were observed in the liver in aborted fetuses. Selective and non-selective
media were used for the isolation of causative agent. Phenotypic and molecular tests were performed for identification. Campylobacter fetus
subsp. fetus (Cff) was isolated from organs of four foetuses aborted. While the vaginal swap samples taken from sheep that did not abort,
water, feed and litter samples produced negative results for Cff, 5 of the 20 faecal samples and 5 of the vaginal swaps taken from the sheep
that had aborted, yielded Cff. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) was used for genotyping and all isolates were detected as Sequence Type
2 (ST2). This is the first documented report of an ovine abortion caused by Cff ST2 in Turkey. It is considered that the development and use of
vaccines, containing local Campylobacter species, would contribute to both prophylaxis and control of abortions caused by campylobacters
including Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus. |
