Exploring the association of weather variability on Campylobacter - A systematic review
DISCUSSION: This review explores what is known about the influence of weather events on Campylobacter and identifies previously underreported negative associations between relative humidity and sunshine on Campylobacter infections. Future research should explore pathogen-specific estimates of risk, which can be used to influence public health strategies, improve source attribution and causal pathways, and project disease burden due to climate change.PMID:38582433 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118796 (Source: Environmental Research)

Structural and biochemical analysis of penicillin-binding protein 2 from Campylobacter jejuni
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2024 Mar 30;710:149859. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149859. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPenicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) plays a key role in the formation of peptidoglycans in bacterial cell walls by crosslinking glycan chains through transpeptidase activity. PBP2 is also found in Campylobacter jejuni, a pathogenic bacterium that causes food-borne enteritis in humans. To elucidate the essential structural features of C. jejuni PBP2 (cjPBP2) that mediate its biological function, we determined the crystal structure of cjPBP2 and assessed its protein stability under various conditions. cjPBP2 ado...

Scenario-based assessment of fecal pathogen sources affecting bathing water quality: novel treatment options to reduce norovirus and Campylobacter infection risks
In this study, quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) tools were used to evaluate the hygienic impact of sewage effluents and runoff water from municipalities and animal farms on surface and bathing waters. The human-specific microbial source tracking (MST) marker HF183 was used to evaluate the dilution of fecal pathogens originating from the sewage effluent discharge to the downstream watershed. As novel risk management options, the efficiency of UV-LED disinfection and wetland treatment as well as biochar filtration was tested on-site for the contamination sources. According to the dilution pattern of the MST mark...

First study in the frequency of isolation and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of pig and cattle origin Campylobacter strains in Romania
AbstractCampylobacter spp. is recognized as one of the most common pathogens involved in the development of gastrointestinal infections in humans. The current study aimed to enhance the knowledge on the occurrence and molecular characterization ofCampylobacter spp. in pigs and cattle origin caecum samples (n = 56) collected in one year, from nine Romanian slaughterhouses, and to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolated strains. AllCampylobacter spp. strains (n = 41) isolated from swine and cattle caecum samples were analyzed in terms of antimicrobial resistance, in accordance with the EURL pro...

Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth is associated with increased < i > Campylobacter < /i > and epithelial injury in duodenal biopsies of Bangladeshi children
by Shah Mohammad Fahim, Jeffrey R. Donowitz, Ekaterina Smirnova, Ning-Juin Jan, Subhasish Das, Mustafa Mahfuz, S. M. Abdul Gaffar, William A. Petri Jr, Chelsea Marie, Tahmeed Ahmed Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) has been associated with enteric inflammation, linear growth stunting, and neurodevelopmental delays in children from low-income countries. Little is known about the histologic changes or epithelial adherent microbiota associated with SIBO. We sought to describe these relationships in a cohort of impoverished Bangladeshi children. Undernourished 12-18-month-old children underwent both glucose hydrogen...
