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

Specific PCR Identification and Differentiation of the Thermophilic Campylobacters, Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. upsaliensis
TL;DR: By digestion of the PCR products with two restriction enzymes, species differentiation was demonstrated and the present method has the potential to be used for both detection and identification of thermophilic campylobacter species.

TL;DR: A significant number of Campylobacter cases develop a chronic sequela, however, results should be interpreted with caution due to the high heterogeneity.

Evaluating the efficacy of an avian-specific probiotic to reduce the colonization of Campylobacter jejuni in broiler chickens
TL;DR: Probiotic administration reduced the colonization of C. jejuni in broiler chickens in in vivo experiments and in vitro experiments showed that Enterococcus faecium, Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus salivarius, and LactOBacillus reuteri isolated from healthy chicken gut inhibited the growth of the CampylobacterJejuni.

Clinical, microbiological and immunological features associated with the treatment of active periodontosis lesions
TL;DR: Clinical, microbiological and immunological factors were examined using data from a subject with periodontosis, and models which could "predict" the outcome, attachment level change in the previous monitoring period were examined.
