AUTHOR'S CORRECTION Unique Features of a Highly Pathogenic Campylobacter jejuni Strain
Dirk Hofreuter,Jennifer Tsai,Robert O. Watson,Veronica Novik,Bill Altman,Michelle Benitez,Christina Clark,Clotilde Perbost,Thomas Jarvie,Lei Du +9 more
TL;DR: A number of unique genetic features which may confer specific metabolic and pathogenic properties on this strain are identified and regions of the C. jejuni genome that are hot spots for the integration of horizontally acquired genetic material are identified.

A review on antimicrobial botanicals, phytochemicals and natural resistance modifying agents from Apocynaceae family: Possible therapeutic approaches against multidrug resistance in pathogenic microorganisms.
TL;DR: Three different paradigm models harnessing clinical antimicrobial resistance (AMR) including the plant family Apocynaceae, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species have been broadly discussed in this review.

Novel Clinical Campylobacter jejuni Infection Models Based on Sensitization of Mice to Lipooligosaccharide, a Major Bacterial Factor Triggering Innate Immune Responses in Human Campylobacteriosis.
TL;DR: Recent progress made in the development of murine C. jejuni infection models that are based on the abolishment of CR by modulating the murine gut microbiota and by sensitization of mice to LOS support the major role of LOS driven innate immunity in pathogenesis of campylobacteriosis including post-infectious autoimmune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter spp. in animals in Sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review.
TL;DR: The main objective of this review was to describe the prevalence of Campylobacter in animals in Sub-Saharan Africa and to take measures to prevent infection by this pathogen in the region and to control antibiotic resistance.

Campylobacter enteritis: a "new" disease.
TL;DR: Campylobacters are a relatively unrecognised cause of acute enteritis, but these findings suggest that they may be a common cause, and poultry may be the primary source of the organism.

Campylobacter jejuni Infections: Update on Emerging Issues and Trends
TL;DR: Infection with Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis worldwide; it occurs more frequently than do infections caused by Salmonella species, Shigella species, or Escherichia coli O157:H7.
