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: The data for GBS suggests that the immunologic mechanism can involve molecular mimicry, at least in some GBS variants, and it is likely that multiple mechanisms render the axon vulnerable.

TL;DR: Overall, poultry is an important reservoir and source of human campylobacteriosis, although the contribution of other sources, reservoirs and transmission warrants more research.

TL;DR: Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) suddenly emerged in 2007 and multi-resistant strains of Streptococcus suis need to be considered, along with multi-drug resistance in Escherichia coli and salmonella.

TL;DR: People with ciprofloxacin-resistant Campylobacter infection have a longer duration of diarrhea than do persons with c iprofloxicin-susceptible Campyloblacter infection, and additional efforts are needed to preserve the efficacy of fluoroquinolones.

TL;DR: Long-term symptoms that occur Campylobacter infection are significantly associated with bacterial toxicity, particularly to HEp-2 and Vero cells.

TL;DR: The true incidence of campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis in the European Union in 2009 was estimated based on disease risks of returning Swedish travellers, averaged over the years 2005–2009, and anchored to a Dutch population-based study on incidence and aetiology of gastroenteritis.

Immunity to Campylobacter: its role in risk assessment and epidemiology

TL;DR: In risk assessment studies, health risks may be overestimated when immunity is neglected and not accounting for immunity in epidemiological studies may lead to biased results due to the misclassification of Campylobacter-exposed but apparently healthy persons as unexposed.
