Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment Model to Estimate Exposure to Campylobacter from Consumption of Chicken in the United States
Public health costs of foodborne campylobacteriosis are estimated to cost more than a billion dollars in the United States annually. This pathogen has been primarily associated with chicken production and processing which is a ~$33 billion industry. To further identify practices that could reduce …

Niche-adaptive evolution in Campylobacter jejuni
… gastroenteritis. Human C. jejuni infection (campylobacteriosis) is frequently associated with poultry; through consumption of undercooked products, cross contamination from raw meats, or through direct contact with birds or their faecal matter, however it is established that poultry is not …

Lactobacillus strategies to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens
… illness in the world. The majority of cases of campylobacteriosis are associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked poultry meat or their cross-contamination with other food products. Strategies to reduce the presence of Campylobacter in the poultry supply are underdeveloped. The …

Campylobacter spp. within the UK poultry industry: prevalence, risk factors and the chicken microbiome
Campylobacteriosis as a disease, is of huge significance to the human population worldwide. It remains the number one cause of human zoonosis within the EU with over 245,000 cases of campylobacteriosis reported in 2018 with many more cases thought to have gone unreported. Campylobacter is of …

Comparative Phenotypic and Transcriptional Differences of Campylobacter jejuni When Challenged with Low Molecular Weight Chitosan
… food-borne pathogen and causative agent of Campylobacteriosis infection. This infection arises primarily from the consumption of foodstuffs/beverages previously contaminated with this microorganism. Despite current food control measures currently employed, this pathogen remains problematic …

Oxidative stress responses in Campylobacter jejuni: the role of the Peroxide Regulator PerR
… to contribute to the annual ~500,000 UK cases of campylobacteriosis. One of the main regulatory proteins involved in the protective response of C. jejuni to oxidative stress is the regulatory protein PerR, which regulates gene expression in a metal-dependent manner, controlling the transcription …

Characterising the microbial communities associated with the water distribution system of a broiler farm and their role in Campylobacter infection
… information is available on the epidemiology of campylobacteriosis in Africa. In Uganda Campylobacter infections have been reported in children, and gorillas have been identified as carriers but no information is available on Campylobacter prevalence in chickens. Studies in neighbouring …
