Global Epidemiology of Campylobacter Infection
TLDR
Overall, campylobacteriosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases that is likely to challenge global health in the years to come.Abstract:
Campylobacter jejuni infection is one of the most widespread infectious diseases of the last century. The incidence and prevalence of campylobacteriosis have increased in both developed and developing countries over the last 10 years. The dramatic increase in North America, Europe, and Australia is alarming, and data from parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East indicate that campylobacteriosis is endemic in these areas, especially in children. In addition to C. jejuni, there is increasing recognition of the clinical importance of emerging Campylobacter species, including Campylobacter concisus and Campylobacter ureolyticus. Poultry is a major reservoir and source of transmission of campylobacteriosis to humans. Other risk factors include consumption of animal products and water, contact with animals, and international travel. Strategic implementation of multifaceted biocontrol measures to reduce the transmission of this group of pathogens is paramount for public health. Overall, campylobacteriosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases that is likely to challenge global health in the years to come. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the global epidemiology, transmission, and clinical relevance of Campylobacter infection.read more

Emerging Infectious Food System Related Zoonotic Foodborne Disease – A Threat to Global Food Safety and Nutrition Security
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the evidence that animals are carriers of foodborne diseases and the processes through which infectious foodborne zoonosis impacts the global food and nutrition security, as well as how human infectious illnesses may affect food production and distribution are synthesised.

Mechanism of the CBM35 domain in assisting catalysis by Ape1, a Campylobacter jejuni O-acetyl esterase
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1.8-resolution crystal structure of a complex between acetate and Ape1 is presented, where an active site cleft is formed at the interface of the two domains and two large loops from the CBM35 domain form part of the active site.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors suggest that the Campylobacter/Helicobacter group of bacteria may play a role in the development of colorectal cancer, i.e. adenocarcinoma of the colon and stomach.

TL;DR: Interventions targeting five pathogens can substantially reduce the burden of moderate-to-severe diarrhoea and suggest new methods and accelerated implementation of existing interventions (rotavirus vaccine and zinc) are needed to prevent disease and improve outcomes.

The functional gastrointestinal disorders and the Rome III process.
TL;DR: Two important processes have occurred to legitimize these conditions, and to increase attention toward the research and clinical care of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), a shift in conceptualizing these disorders from a disease-based, reductionistic model, to a more integrated, biopsychosocial model of illness.

TL;DR: The composition of the microbiota in colorectal carcinoma is characterized using whole genome sequences from nine tumor/normal pairs and Fusobacterium sequences were enriched in carcinomas, confirmed by quantitative PCR and 16S rDNA sequence analysis of 95 carcinoma/normal DNA pairs.

Campylobacter enteritis: a "new" disease.
TL;DR: Campylobacters are a relatively unrecognised cause of acute enteritis, but these findings suggest that they may be a common cause, and poultry may be the primary source of the organism.
