“…Both E. coli strains are known to have fast onset ranging from 8-48 hours. Other studies 2,16,17 have stated that the major causes of diarrhea in travelers are ETEC, Shigella, and Campylobacter. Only a small portion of cases are caused by intestinal parasites such as the Entamoeba species, Giardia species, and Cryptosporidium parvum species.…”

“…infection include acute, self-limiting gastroenteritis, characterized by diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, with a 24 to 72 hr incubation period [4]. Diarrhea is initially watery, which may last more than two weeks in travellers's diarrhea [34], or may become bloody as a result of diffuse inflammatory colitis and enteritis [12]. An important post-infection sequela of Campylobacter jejuni infection is Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an acute demyelinating disease of the peripheral nervous system that results in a flaccid paralysis [3,5].…”

ABSTRACT. Campylobacter spp. have been identified as etiologic agents in outbreaks and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis in developed countries. In developing countries, most reported Campylobacter infections are in children. Previously reported prevalences of Campylobacter spp. in children in Southeast Asia range from 2.9% to 15%. The frequency and pattern of occurrence of Campylobacter spp. differ between developed and developing countries, especially in the number of cases reported in adults and the presence of any seasonal patterns in occurrence. Although the severity of Campylobacter infection in adults was different between developed and developing countries, the clinical symptoms of infection in adults resulting from infection in developing countries was similar to those in developed countries. Many different animal species maintain Campylobacter spp. with no clinical signs. There do not appear to be significantly different colonization rates of Campylobacter in food animals between developed and developing countries. The role of C. jejuni as a primary pathogen in farm animals is uncertain. C. jejuni can be found in feces of diarrheic and healthy calves and piglets. Campylobacter with resistance to antimicrobial agents have been reported in both developed and developing countries, and the situation seems to deteriorate more rapidly in developing countries, where there is widespread and uncontrolled use of antibiotics resistance was observed at high levels in food animals in both developed and developing countries. Studies suggested an association between antimicrobial use in food animals and the development of resistance in human isolates in developed countries. KEY WORDS: antimicrobial resistance, Campylobacter spp., food animal, human.

“…table 1 shows other bacteria as Aeromonas spp., C. jejuni, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., or Vibrio species that have also been described as a cause of TD [20, 24, 25]. The percentage of each pathogen varies greatly following several studies, mainly due to the different techniques used for microbial identification, and the seasonal variations and geographical areas studied.…”

Traveler’s diarrhea (TD) is the most frequent health problem in travelers to developing countries. Several personal and environmental risk factors are at the basis of TD acquisition and are discussed in this paper. TD is caused by a wide range of infectious organisms, ETEC and EAEC bacteria strains being the main enteropathogens incriminated in TD. Other causative bacteria are: Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp., Vibrio spp., Aeromonas spp., Salmonella spp., and Plesiomonas spp. Parasite species are also included: Cyclospora cayetanensis, Giardia lamblia, Crystosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica, as well as viruses: rotavirus, adenovirus, Norwalk virus. Due to the great diversity of pathogens incriminated, several pathophysiological mechanisms have been described and some of them are still poorly understood. The clinical symptoms present are also quite variable, although inflammatory and non-inflammatory diarrhea have been established as a classical and basic classification of diarrhea.
