“…This family includes Arcobacter and Campylobacter which, along with other genera, may pose a significant public health concern (Moreno et al 2003). Campylobacter, for example, includes some of the most common human enteric pathogens (Frost 2001). Furthermore, a number of viruses were also identified in the collected samples.…”

In many megacities wastewater is an important source of surface water, particularly during drought periods. While changes in surface water chemistry associated with effluent inflow have generally been well-studied, few data have been collected on the effects to prokaryotic communities. The objective of this study was to explore the impacts of treated and untreated wastewater discharges on prokaryotic community in an urban river. High-throughput sequencing was conducted for analyzing the prokaryotic community composition and function in river water, treated wastewater and untreated wastewater. Results revealed that the prokaryotic community compositions in the upstream river reach were dominated by treated wastewater discharge. In the middle-and downstream river reaches, untreated effluent volumes are higher, thus affecting the structure of the prokaryotic community, promoting a rise in Cyanobacteria and Thaumarchaeota. Function annotation revealed a number of genes associated with xenobiotic metabolism and human diseases were observed in river and wastewater samples, suggesting wastewater discharge to river may pose a risk to human health. Quantitative realtime PCR results revealed that the treated and untreated wastewater discharges also affected the abundance of ammonia oxidation bacteria (AOB) and ammonia oxidation archaea (AOA) in river.

“…Epidemiological studies identify poultry to be a major reservoir of human infection (Frost, 2001;Hanninen et al, 2000;Nadeau et al, 2003). Chickens are commonly colonized by Campylobacter jejuni, with some studies showing up to 98 % of point-of-sale product contaminated (Hanninen et al, 2000;Jacobs-Reitsma, 2000;Madden et al, 1998;Pearson et al, 2000).…”

“…The sources and transmission routes of Campylobacter in cattle are not fully understood. This confusing epidemiological evidence is partly due to the asymptomatic nature of the infection and high levels of genetic diversity (Allos 2001, Frost 2001. Several molecular typing methods have been used to support studies on the epidemiology of Campylobacter infections.…”
