“…The MiniVIDAS CAM method has been successful for the detection of Campylobacter spp. in tissue samples (tonsils and lymph nodes) and fecal material from pigs during processing (Nesbakken et al, 2003), in a variety of chicken parts with positive results confirmed by culture methods (Reiter et al, 2005), and in artificiallycontaminated ground beef and fresh cut vegetables (Chon et al, 2011). Our experiences (OAO) with the MiniVIDAS for screening poultry meat are in accordance with the majority of reports mentioned above.…”

“…Prevalences of Campylobacter in sheep have been shown to be generally lower with approximately 20% of animals intestinal carriers [197]. The high prevalences of campylobacters in pigs have been reported previously in numerous studies and dressed pig carcases have been shown to be more frequently contaminated than either beef or sheep [107]. This is most likely attributable to the fact that pig carcases undergo a communal scalding stage early in the slaughter process combined with the fact that the skin remains on the carcase following all of the dressing procedures.…”

-Species within the genus, Campylobacter, have emerged over the last three decades as significant clinical pathogens, particularly of human public health concern, where the majority of acute bacterial enteritis in the Western world is due to these organisms. Of particular concern are the species, C. jejuni and C. coli, which are responsible for most of these gastrointestinal-related infections. Although these organisms have already emerged as causative agents of zoonoses, several aspects of their epidemiology and pathophysiology are only beginning to emerge. Trends in increasing antibiotic resistance are beginning to emerge with oral antibiotics, which may be the drug of choice for when it is necessary to intervene chemotherapeutically. This review wishes to examine (i) emerging clinical aspects of the disease, such as Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS), (ii) the association between these organisms and poultry as a natural host, (iii) environmental aspects of Campylobacter epidemiology, (iv) the emergence of atypical campylobacters (v) emerging trends in antibiotic resistance, (vi) adoption of modern methods for the detection of campylobacters.

“…How not to feed via transmission can still quote the direct transmission from individual to individual, but is not considered an important mode of transmission in industrialized countries (EFSA, 2005). C. jejuni is responsible for 80-90% of infections in humans, while C. coli is observed in 7% and C. lari, C. upsaliensis, and C. hyointestinalis only 1% of human cases (NESBAKKEN et al, 2003).…”

“…Campylobacter species involved in human gastroenteritis are classified as thermo-tolerant by grow in temperatures higher than 40 ºC, being the species C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari and C. upsaliensis the most incriminated (NESBAKKEN et al, 2003).…”

Campylobacteriosis: an emerging zoonosis, underdiagnosed and underreported by public health agencies in Brazil

et al. 2015

ABSTRACT:The infection by Campylobacter spp. constitutes a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, with serious repercussions for public health and a significant socio-economic impact. The Campylobacter species that most often are implicated in outbreaks of gastrointestinal disease are C. jejuni and C. coli. Both are recognized as the most important and with greater pathogenic potential from the viewpoint of food safety. This review aims to clarify and discuss, based on literature, the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. and the main challenges in their control, to assist in better understanding of the risk posed to human health. Due to the difficulty of isolating and cultivating of Campylobacter spp., the high cost and not mandatory, laboratory diagnosis by traditional cultivation techniques is not widely used in Brazil, resulting in lack of accurate data on the occurrence of the disease in the country. This factor has been identified as responsible for underdiagnosing and underreporting of the disease, which means that data on contamination of animal products or outbreaks are not statements of actual national situation. The epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. is considered complex presenting multiple determinants in the spread of this microorganism. Chickens are important reservoirs of Campylobacter sp. and the main target of control measures, however, other vehicles of transmission, such as raw cow milk, drinking water and other foods of animal origin must also be considered in the set of measures to be taken to control disease. The infection by Campylobacter spp. cause gastroenteritis in humans and occurred by oral contact with infected animals. In fact, are pets or production and food consumption, the most important pathways. The clinical manifestations of the disease can be from mild to severe symptoms, including watery diarrhea, sometimes with blood, abdominal pain, fever, headache and nausea. Sometimes the infection can get complications after the diarrhea stops and starts a progressive paralysis that can result in respiratory failure and severe neurological dysfunction and may even lead to death. The occurrence of campylobacteriosi's outbreaks should be mandatory to the authorities of surveillance, to provide an investigation of common sources and transmission control through preventive measures , thereby minimizing the potential risks to human health.
