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

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to determine the microbial diversity in meat and meat products from different enterprises and meat types in South Africa, using metagenomics analysis, which revealed the presence of diverse bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

In vivo efficacy of carvacrol on Campylobacter jejuni prevalence in broiler chickens during an entire fattening period.
TL;DR: A statistically significant decrease of C. jejuni counts was demonstrated and carvacrol did not successfully reduce Campylobacter cecal colonization in 33-day-old broilers.

Quantitative microbiological slaughter process analysis in a large-scale Swiss poultry abattoir
TL;DR: A quantitative microbiological slaughter process analysis in a large-scale Swiss poultry abattoir found that chilling slightly reduced microbial counts on the carcasses skin and markedly reduced the counts in the abdominal cavity after plucking and evisceration.

TL;DR: Seroincidence is a powerful measure to study Campylobacter epidemiology, and is preferred over other methods, but risk factors are similar to those previously described.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper built a donor microbial evaluation index (DoMEI) for stool donor screening and focused on ethical principles and requirements, and found that the changes in the gut microbiota of the same donor were typically more stable than those between donors.

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.

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.
