“…Patients with no spleen, older adults and people with alcohol dependence are at particularly increased risk for infection with Capnocytophaga canimorsus. 19 Multidrug-resistant bacteria Multidrug-resistant bacteria of public health importance have been found in people and companion animals. 20,21 Cross-sectional studies have shown pet owners to have a six-fold greater risk for colonization with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli than people who do not own pets, 22 and pets owned by people with compromised immune systems are more likely to be colonized with Clostridium difficile than those owned by people with competent immune systems.…”

The epidemiology of infectious disease in Western Europe is dominated by infections typical of industrialized, urbanized regions in the temperate climate zones. Public health policies, including mass vaccination, has reduced the incidence of community-acquired infections. Most infections are airborne respiratory tract infections. Food-borne gastrointestinal infections are relatively rare. Zoonotic and parasitic infections are rare. Their distribution varies with changing landscape and climate. Vector-borne infections are mainly tick borne. Leishmaniasis and Aedes albopictus-transmitted dengue and Chikungunya have been reported in Southern France. STIs have become rare. Prevalence of antibiotic resistance varies and is partly associated with extensive use of antibiotics in the bioindustry.
