“…Peculiar cases with atypical clinical presentation are reported by Rajendran et al [ 54 ], describing erythematous plaques by Campylobacter in a seropositive patient, aortitis by C. fetus in an HIV-infected man [ 55 ], spondylodiscitis caused by C. fetus [ 56 ] and persistent diarrhea in an HIV + person with the first isolation of C. infans [ 57 ].…”

A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans. Some zoonoses are very common in the Mediterranean area and endemic in specific regions, so they represent an important problem for public health. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that has originated as a zoonosis and is now diffused globally, with the most significant numbers of infected people among the infectious diseases. Since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the history for people living with HIV (PLWH) has changed drastically, and many diseases are now no different in epidemiology and prognosis as they are in not-HIV-infected people. Still, the underlying inflammatory state that is correlated with HIV and other alterations related to the infection itself can be a risk factor when infected with other bacteria, parasites or viruses. We reviewed the literature for infection by the most common Mediterranean zoonoses, such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Brucella, Rickettsia, Borrelia, Listeria and Echinococcus, and a possible correlation with HIV. We included Monkeypox, since the outbreak of cases is becoming a concern lately. We found that HIV may be related with alterations of the microbiome, as for campylobacteriosis, and that there are some zoonoses with a significant prevalence in PLWH, as for salmonellosis.

“…Cff has been well documented to cause a spectrum of systemic illnesses in immunocompromised humans with a tropism for the vascular endothelium, especially at sites of pre-existing damage (Morrison et al 1990). Reported infections include but are not limited to; septic abortion (Hood and Todd 1960), spondylodiscitis (Cunha et al 2021), outbreaks of nosocomial neonatal meningitis (Morooka et al 1988), peritonitis (Wens et al 1985), soft tissue infections (La Scola, Chambourlier and Bouillot 1998), endocarditis (Durovic et al 2021) and other vascular pathologies (vasculitis, pericarditis, thrombophlebitis, mycotic aneurysms, aortitis among others) (Morrison et al 1990;Wagenaar et al 2014;Nulens et al 2018;Eke, Doub and Chua 2021). Persistent (Nakazawa et al 2018), recurrent or relapsed (Tremblay, Gaudreau and Lorange 2003;Tu, Gaudreau and Blaser 2005;Nishikubo et al 2021) and multifocal invasive C. fetus infections (Durovic et al 2021) have also been reported.…”

In some instances, systemic C. fetus infections have been recorded in immunocompetent individuals (Gazaigne et al 2008) or were not preceded by diarrhoeal illness (or Cff was not detected from faeces) (Eke, Doub and Chua 2021). The source of infection is often linked to animal exposure (Wagenaar et al 2014;Nakazawa et al 2018) or the consumption of contaminated meat products.…”

Campylobacter fetus can cause intestinal and systemic disease in humans and are well established veterinary and economic pathogens. We report the complete genomic sequences of two C. fetus subsp. fetus (Cff) isolates recovered in 2017 (CITCf01) and 2018 (CITCf02) from a case of recurrent prosthetic valve endocarditis. Both were capable of growth aerobically. Their genomes were found to be highly conserved and syntenic with 99.97% average nucleotide identity (ANI) while differences in their respective sap loci defined the temporal separation of their genomes. Based on core genome phylogeny and ANI of 83 Cff genomes belonging to the previously described human-associated Cff lineage, CITCf01 and CITCf02 grouped in a clade of eleven sequence type (ST)3 Cff (including the Cff type strain NCTC 10842T). CITCf01 and CITCf02 were marked for their lack of unique genomic features when compared to isolates within the subspecies and the type strain in particular. We identified point mutations in oxidative stress response genes, among others, that may contribute to aerobiosis. We report a case of Cff causing relapsed prosthetic valve endocarditis and we highlight the sap island as a polymorphic site within the genetically stable ST3 lineage, central to pathogenicity.

Objectives Campylobacter spp. has been reported to be a sexually transmissible enteric infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) since the 1980s causing an acute severe diarrhoeal illness and rarely an acute demyelinating polyneuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome). The aim of this review was to explore the factors seen in MSM with Campylobacter spp. Methods We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines by searching 7 bibliographical databases in August 2024 for manuscripts in English. Initial screening was conducted by a primary author and then two authors conducted independent full-text reviews to determine the final eligible manuscripts. We only included manuscripts which explored factors seen in MSM with Campylobacter spp.. Two authors independently used the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools to assess risk for bias. This review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023464803). Results 25 manuscripts met the inclusion criteria that included 265 MSM with Campylobacter spp.. This review has highlighted demographic factors (living with HIV, living in urban MSM districts, HIV negative MSM using HIV-PrEP), biological factors (antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter spp., having a concurrent or previous sexually transmitted infection [ Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Herpes simplex virus, Hepatitis C, Mpox] current/previous enteric infection including non-pathogenic parasites [ Shigella spp. , Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica, Salmonella spp. , Entamoeba hartmanii, Entamoeba coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba butchlii]) and behavioural factors (condomless receptive anal sex, oral-anal sex, oral genital sex, multiple/new sexual partners, using sex on premises venues and the internet to meet sexual partners) seen in MSM with Campylobacter spp. Conclusion This review has highlighted some important demographic, biological and behavioural risk factors seen in MSM with Campylobacter spp.. These data can be used to inform future public health interventions and clinical guidelines.
