“…However, in many countries, Campylobacter isolates are increasingly resistant to fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid) (EFSA & ECDC, ; Riley, Eshaghi, Olsha, Allen, & Patel, ; Tang, Skovgard, Pedersen et al., ). In a study of antibiotic susceptibility among Campylobacter isolates obtained from international travellers between 2007 and 2014, ciprofloxacin resistance tended to increase over time from 54% to 72% (Post et al., ). Furthermore, increased resistance is also reported for isolates from animals in countries where quinolones or fluoroquinolones administered via feed or water neither are neither authorized nor used (Swedres‐Svarm, ).…”

“…Almost all humans infected by Campylobacter recover without specific treatment; however, antimicrobial therapy is warranted for patients with bacteremia or a life-threatening condition. Erythromycin is considered the optimal drug for treatment of campylobacteriosis, as it is easy to administer and has a narrow spectrum of activity (Acheson & Allos, 2001 | 41 between 2007 and 2014, ciprofloxacin resistance tended to increase over time from 54% to 72% (Post et al, 2017). Furthermore, increased resistance is also reported for isolates from animals in countries where quinolones or fluoroquinolones administered via feed or water neither are neither authorized nor used (Swedres-Svarm, 2015).…”

Campylobacteriosis is an important, worldwide public health problem with numerous socio-economic impacts. Since 2015, approximately 230,000 cases have been reported annually in Europe. In the United States, Australia and New Zealand, campylobacteriosis is the most commonly reported disease. Poultry and poultry products are considered important sources of human infections. Poultry meat can become contaminated with Campylobacter during slaughter if live chickens are intestinal carriers. Campylobacter spp. can be transferred from animals to humans through consumption and handling of contaminated food products, with fresh chicken meat being the most commonly implicated food type. Regarding food-borne disease, the most important Campylobacter species are Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. In humans, clinical signs of campylobacteriosis include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. Most cases of campylobacteriosis are sporadic and self-limiting, but there are post-infection complications, for example, Guillain-Barrés syndrome. This review summarizes an analysis undertaken by the DISCONTOOLS group of experts on campylobacteriosis. Gaps were identified in: (i) knowledge of true number of infected humans; (ii) mechanisms of pathogenicity to induce infection in humans; (iii) training to prevent transfer of Campylobacter from raw to ready-to-eat food; (iv) development of effective vaccines; (v) understanding transmission routes to broiler flocks; (vi) knowledge of bacteriocins, bacteriophages and antimicrobial peptides as preventive therapies; (vii) ration formulation as an effective preventive measure at a farm level; (viii) development of kits for rapid detection and quantification of Campylobacter in animals and food products; and (ix) development of more effective antimicrobials for treatment of humans infected with Campylobacter. Some of these gaps are relevant worldwide, whereas others are more related to problems encountered with Campylobacter in industrialized countries.

“…Even at a low infectious dose of only a few hundred bacteria there is a reasonable chance that an infection will be established in humans [ 3 , 4 ]. Campylobacter has developed resistance to several antimicrobials, in particular, resistance to fluoroquinolones [ 5 ]. A recent study conducted in Luxembourg found that around 61% of Campylobacter infections in humans were attributed to poultry meat, 33%, 5% and 0.6% were attributed to ruminant meat, the environment and pork meat, respectively [ 6 ].…”

Broiler meat can become contaminated with Campylobacter of intestinal origin during processing. The present study aimed to identify the prevalence of Campylobacter in broiler flocks and meat contamination at retail shops, and determine the influence of semi-automated and wet market processing on Campylobacter contamination of neck skin samples. Samples were collected from semi-automated plants (n = 102) and wet markets (n = 25). From each batch of broilers, pooled caecal samples and neck skin samples were tested for Campylobacter. Broiler meat purchased from retail outlets (n = 37) was also tested. The prevalence of Campylobacter colonized broiler flocks was 67%. The contamination of meat at retail was 59%. Both semi-automated and wet market processing resulted to contaminate the broiler neck skins to the levels of 27.4% and 48%, respectively. When Campylobacter-free broiler flocks were processed in semi-automated facilities 15% (5/33) of neck skin samples became contaminated by the end of processing whereas 25% (2/8) became contaminated after wet market processing. Characterization of isolates revealed a higher proportion of C. coli compared to C. jejuni. Higher proportions of isolates were resistant to important antimicrobials. This study shows the importance of Campylobacter in poultry industry in Sri Lanka and the need for controlling antimicrobial resistance.

“…The two PBGs, cam P and mec A ( Campylobacter and Staphylococcus , respectively), were also detected to be co‐present with all ARGs except tet A. This result is supported by the continuous identification of Staphylococcus and Campylobacter resistant to various antibiotics, such as β‐lactam, ciprofloxacin, and erythromycin (Narvaez‐Bravo, Taboada, Mutschall, & Aslam, ; Post et al., ; Qekwana, Oguttu, Sithole, & Odoi, ).…”

This study explores the prevalence, emission, and reduction of five ARGs (sulI, tetA, mphB, qnrD, and mcr‐1) and integron (intI) through a distributed swine wastewater purification facility and the effluent‐receiving environment. Typical metal resistance genes (MRGs), pathogenic bacterial indicators, the bacterial community, and wastewater properties were also explored to determine their effects on the fates of ARGs. Results indicated that the purification process could hardly effectively remove ARGs’ prevalence. 3.1 × 104–7.1 × 108 copies/L were present after purification, and 4%–57% of them persisted in the subsequent creek and adjacent soil. 16S rRNA sequencing suggested that the discharge of wastewater significantly changed the bacterial community in receiving creek and soil. Molecular ecological networks analysis detected the wide co‐occurrence among ARGs, MRGs, and PBGs, which could further facilitate the propagation of antibiotic resistance. ARG incidence and specific bacterial genera were closely correlated, suggesting an extensive hosting relationship. Redundancy analyses showed wastewater organics and nutrients showed positive correlation to most ARGs’ abundance, but negatively correlated to their relative abundance. Practitioner points Fate of five ARGs and intI was studied in a swine wastewater treatment system. The treatment process could not effectively reduce ARGs’ abundance. ARGs and pathogens in wastewater were transferred to the receiving creek and soil. The network analysis found wide co‐occurrence among ARGs, metal resistance genes, and pathogens. Wastewater nutrients positively correlated to ARG's abundance but negatively correlated to their relative abundance.
