“…Celiac disease is estimated to affect approximately 1% of people worldwide (173,174), and the incidence of this disease has increased up to 5-fold in some countries, including the United States (175). In 2007, a case study described for the first time the development of celiac disease in a young healthy woman following infection with C. jejuni (176).…”

SUMMARY Campylobacter jejuni infection is one of the most widespread infectious diseases of the last century. The incidence and prevalence of campylobacteriosis have increased in both developed and developing countries over the last 10 years. The dramatic increase in North America, Europe, and Australia is alarming, and data from parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East indicate that campylobacteriosis is endemic in these areas, especially in children. In addition to C. jejuni , there is increasing recognition of the clinical importance of emerging Campylobacter species, including Campylobacter concisus and Campylobacter ureolyticus . Poultry is a major reservoir and source of transmission of campylobacteriosis to humans. Other risk factors include consumption of animal products and water, contact with animals, and international travel. Strategic implementation of multifaceted biocontrol measures to reduce the transmission of this group of pathogens is paramount for public health. Overall, campylobacteriosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases that is likely to challenge global health in the years to come. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the global epidemiology, transmission, and clinical relevance of Campylobacter infection.

“…Although complications are rare, they may include cholecystitis (gallbladder infection), pancreatitis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage (Allo, 2001). Immunoreactive complications include reactive arthritis and Guillain-Barré syndrome, a demyelinating autoimmune disorder leading to nerve damage and sometimes death (Riddle, 2012).…”

The combined impact of community-level environmental and socioeconomic factors on the risk of campylobacteriosis were evaluated.Campylobacter case data (2002-2010, n=3,694) In zip codes that were 100% rural, incidence rates of campylobacteriosis were 6 times (IRR=6.18; 95%CI=3.19-11.97) that of urban zip codes. In zip codes with broiler chicken operations, incidence rates were 1.45 times that of zip codes without broilers (IRR=1.45, 95%CI=1.34-1.58). Higher rates were also observed for zip codes that were predominantly white and had high median incomes.

“…with human infections and several epidemiological studies showed that food, particularly contaminated poultry meat and chicken meat food products, are mainly connected with a risk of human campylobacteriosis (Adkin et al 2006, Nauta et al 2007, Riddle et al 2012. Poultry are asymptomatic carriers of Campylobacter and the infected flocks cannot be identified by clinical symptoms in birds (Berry et al 1988, Newell et al 2001, Newell and Fearnley 2003, Wieczorek and Osek 2005, Adkin et al 2006, Bull et al 2006, Allen et al 2007, Wirz et al 2010, Hue et al 2011, Ridley et al 2011, Habib et al 2012.…”

Campylobacter infection is the leading foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and the bacteria are frequently isolated from the intestines of chickens. The broiler meat contamination with C. jejuni or C. coli may occur during slaughter processing. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of Campylobacter in poultry flocks and the corresponding broiler carcasses in 15 districts (voivodeships) all over Poland. A total of 128 samples from broiler flocks and the corresponding carcasses were collected between February 2011 and April 2013. The Campylobacter isolation and species identification were performed according to ISO 10272-1 standard and with PCR. It was found that 112 flock (96.5%) were contaminated with campylobacters, either C. jejuni (77 samples; 68.7%) or C. coli (35 flocks; 31.3%). Analysis of the corresponding chicken carcasses tested after chilling revealed that 77 out of 128 (60.2%) samples were positive for Campylobacter, either C. jejuni (58; 75.3%) or C. coli (19; 24.7%). Most of the carcasses were contaminated with the same Campylobacter species as identified in the corresponding flock before slaughter. As tested by PCR, out of the 77 crops with C. jejuni 58 were positive for the same bacterial species. On the other hand, out of the remaining 35 flocks infected with C. coli, only 19 corresponding carcass samples were contaminated with C. coli. In three cases in the slaughtered flocks C. jejuni was identified but in the same carcasses C. coli was found. The opposite findings (flock positive for C. coli but the corresponding carcasses contaminated with C. jejuni) were seen in six voivodeships. It was also observed that several carcass samples were negative for C. jejuni and C. coli although the original flocks were Campylobacter-positive before slaughter (total 36 of the 77 samples; 46.7%). On the other hand, some carcasses were contaminated with Campylobacter although the flocks were negative for these bacteria (9 samples; 11.7%) which may also be due to internal contamination during slaughter of broilers.
