Abstract

Abstract: Campylobacteriosis is one of the most common zoonoses, present in different types of animals, especially in poultry and caused by Campylobacter spp. Over the years this disease has evolved and instinctively has become resistant to different types of antibiotics, causing a problem in Public Health both in industrialized countries and much more in developing countries. In the present investigation 112 types of milk samples collected from three southern provinces of Ecuador for 6 months were analyzed, in which 7 strains of Campylobacter were detected, corresponding to 5 of C. jejuni (Cj0414§) representing 71.43 % being the most recurrent, due to its genetic complexity that helps the complexity of the environment, and 2 to C. coli (ask-F) 28.57%. In relation to the places that are collection centers C. jejuni 60% in the province of Loja (3/5), in Zamora 20% (1/5), in the same way in Cañar 20% (1/5). For C. coli in the province of Loja it was 50% (1/2) and in Cañar 50% (1/2)
