An updated overview of Campylobacter and campylobacterıosis

Abstract

There is a continuous rise in the incidence of foodborne infections caused by Campylobacter spp., the main causative agent of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Campylobacteriosis, Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the most frequently encountered species and pose serious health threats due to their resistance to antimicrobials. Assurance of microbial safety of poultry and cattle, the most important reservoirs of Campylobacter spp., meat and meat products, milk and dairy obtained from these animals, and detection and/or concentration determination of the pathogen both in the farm and in food ready for consumption, mandates required regulatory updates in current legislations. By taking the zoonotic potential of the agent into consideration, in this review article, aetiology, growth and pathogenicity traits; epidemiology and prevalence; pathogenesis and symptoms of the infection; sampling, isolation/enumeration, identification and rapid methods for the detection of the pathogen; treatment of disease and antimicrobial resistance information; and prevention and control requirements and regulatory approach strategies were presented based on data from current literature.
