Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Campylobacter spp. are Gram-negative bacilli that are widely recognized as a primary cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Campylobacteriosis is the disease caused by this pathogen. Recently, greater attention has been given to the prevalence of campylobacteriosis in different animals, including pets. These animals are considered to be significant reservoirs for this zoonosis. In Lebanon, the occurrence of Campylobacter infection is high. Our first-of-its-kind pilot study in Lebanon aimed to estimate the fecal prevalence of Campylobacter species in house dogs.
UNASSIGNED: Thirty-five rectal swabs were collected from male and female house dogs of different ages, both with or without diarrhea. Samples obtained from the dogs were subjected to qualitative microbiological culture testing and molecular diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction assays after bacterial DNA extraction.
UNASSIGNED: Fecal prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in house dogs in this study was 17%. There was a relatively higher prevalence among young females and a significant difference between healthy dogs and those suffering from diarrhea.
UNASSIGNED: Campylobacteriosis was found to be prevalent among house dogs in Lebanon, making them potential carriers of Campylobacter species.

摘要：
■弯曲杆菌属。是革兰氏阴性杆菌,其在世界范围内被广泛认为是细菌性胃肠炎的主要原因。弯曲杆菌病是由这种病原体引起的疾病。最近,越来越多的关注弯曲杆菌病在不同动物中的流行，包括宠物。这些动物被认为是这种人畜共患病的重要水库。在黎巴嫩,弯曲杆菌感染的发生率很高。我们在黎巴嫩进行的首次试点研究旨在估计家犬中弯曲杆菌的粪便患病率。
■从不同年龄的雄性和雌性家犬中收集了35个直肠拭子，有或没有腹泻。从狗获得的样品在细菌DNA提取后通过聚合酶链反应测定进行定性微生物培养测试和分子诊断。
■弯曲杆菌属的粪便患病率。在这项研究中，室内犬只占17%。年轻女性的患病率相对较高，健康犬和腹泻犬之间存在显着差异。
■在黎巴嫩的家犬中发现弯曲杆菌病很普遍，使它们成为弯曲杆菌的潜在携带者。
