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: It is indicated that AgNPs exhibit a strong antimicrobial activity and thus might be developed as a new type of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infection including multidrug resistant bacterial infection.

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: The findings suggest that Campylobacteria is not as benign as commonly assumed, and that there is evidence to support expanding the indications for antibiotic therapy in campylobacteriosis in children.

Source attribution of human Campylobacter isolates by MLST and fla-typing and association of genotypes with quinolone resistance.
TL;DR: Results obtained with MLST and flaB data corresponded remarkably well, both indicating chickens as the main source for human infection for both Campylobacter species and a host independent association between sequence type (ST) and quinolone resistance.

Detection of campylobacter species: a comparison of culture and polymerase chain reaction based methods.
TL;DR: Selective culture is as good as the PCR identification algorithm for the detection of the two most common species, C jejuni and C coli, and it is cheap and practical, but it does miss the less common species and results take 48 hours, and identification is only to the genus level.

Bacterial biota in reflux esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus.
TL;DR: Findings provide evidence for a complex, residential bacterial population in esophageal reflux-related disorders, while much of this biota is present in the normal esophagus, more detailed comparisons may help identify potential disease associations.

TL;DR: A significant increase in the proportion of cultivable gram-negative organisms with increasing gingival index score was found in groups of individuals with non inflamed, slightly inflamed or moderately inflamed gingiva.
