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.

Food-borne Campylobacter outbreak in Liverpool associated with cross-contamination from chicken liver parfait: implications for investigation of similar outbreaks.
TL;DR: Campylobacter is found in the gastrointestinal tracts of birds and mammals, and the risk of person-to-person spread is low, but inadequate cooking, particularly of poultry, or cross-contamination between raw meat and other foodstuffs can cause outbreaks.

Shifts in Campylobacter species abundance may reflect general microbial community shifts in periodontitis progression
TL;DR: The focus on members of the Campylobacter in this study suggests that this genus can be an indicator of ecological changes in the subgingival oral microflora.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that protective immunity to Campylobacter may be acquired over time, following repeated exposures, and should be reinforced in the first year of life, as this age seems to be associated with the highest risk of diarrhoea during Campylabacter infection.

TL;DR: A case-control study showed a statistically significant association between inadvertent swallowing of muddy surface water during the race and Campylobacter infection and public health agencies and adventure race organizers should consider informing race attendees of the hazards of inadvertent ingestion of surface water.

TL;DR: Rotavirus had the expected winter peak and it was the third enteropathogen because of its frequency, and overall frequency of stool-reducing substances was 15.6% and was associated with a rotavirus-positive test.
