The possible relationship between Campylobacter spp./Arcobacter spp. and patients with ulcerative colitis

Abstract

Given the clinical, endoscopic, and bacteriological examination results, it is believed that Campylobacter spp. are agents that cause flare-up clinically by being superimposed on the primary disease, rather than agents that initiate the disease in patients with UC. Arcobacter spp., which are known to cause acute gastroenteritis, were not found to be associated with UC.

Comparison of microbial communities and the profile of sulfate-reducing bacteria in patients with ulcerative colitis and their association with bowel diseases: a pilot study

“…Moreover, Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella gastroenteritis are associated with IBD development [ 40 ]. Only C. concisus was detected after the cultivation and this species has been formed with two clusters including cultured and uncultured species (access numbers: MT509811.1.…”

“…Based on our research and research of other authors [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] we decided to select the main genera, that have often been associated with UC (Bilophila, Methanobacterium, Campylobacter, Proteus, Escherichia, Enterococcus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacterium) and create phylogenetic trees, aiming to compare the genetic conformity of these genera in patients with severe, severe in active state or moderate UC patients (Figure 2). The experiment was focused on SRB which usually colonize anaerobic areas of soil, wetlands, fresh waters and marine waters, but are also known to be associated with UC development through the induction of a GM dysbiosis caused by their ability to produce high concentrations of H2S [5].…”

Species distribution, genetic diversity and antimicrobial susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates recovered from the preputial cavity of healthy rams in Turkey

“…While the genus confirmation of the campylobacters was performed based on DNA results, no information on the species-level identification was provided in this report. Literature reports have been published indicating the isolation of C. sputorum from the human oral microbiota (Debruyne et al 2008;Dewhirst et al 2010), an axillary abscess (On et al 1992), ulcerative colitis (Akar et al 2018), bacteraemia (Tee et al 1998) and gastroenteritis (Steele et al 1985;Lindblom et al 1995).…”

“…A selective enrichment combined with a membrane filtration method was employed for the isolation of Campylobacter sp. as previously described (Ellis and Redwood 1988;Man 2011;Akar et al 2018). Briefly, each tube containing a preputial swab was added with 10 ml of Brucella broth (Acumedia 7121A; Lansing, MI, USA) containing Skirrow's supplement (Oxoid, Waltham, MA, USA) and incubated microaerobically with loose caps at 37°C for 3 days.…”
