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: The results indicate that Salmonella mutants can be effectively used as vector to deliver antigens of Campylobacter origin for vaccine purposes, but before this method can be commercialized several parameters including the choice of suitable antigen or antigen needs to be evaluated.

TL;DR: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMR) confirmed a reduced LV systolic function and showed patchy areas of increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images, suggesting myocardial edema, which was seen on echocardiography.

Genetic detection of Campylobacter lanienae in fecal matter and stored manure from swine and dairy cattle.
TL;DR: More samples and other molecular techniques need to be tested in order to characterize and evaluate the distribution of this microorganism in the agri-food chain, and two different genetic clusters depending on the animal reservoir are revealed.

TL;DR: The case supports the need to review the standard culture methods employed for microbial analyses in hospitals and identifies the first report of C. curvus infection in the female genital tract that has been identified in a woman who delivered preterm.
