A review has backed the belief that poultry and ruminants are the main sources of Campylobacter infections.
The work found more than half of human campylobacteriosis cases were attributed to poultry. Ruminants such as cattle

Researchers looking at Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and Campylobacter jejuni in unpasteurized, raw milk in Finland have advised heat treatment before consumption.
The study suggested milk filters are more suitable sampling targets for monitoring than

Unpasteurized, “raw” milk from the Martin Yoder Farm should be immediately discarded because it is contaminated with Campylobacter jejuni bacteria. New York officials have prohibited the farm from selling raw milk until further notice.
The

Public health officials have known for some time that Guillain-Barre Syndrome could be triggered by the foodborne Campylobacter jejuni, but a research team at Michigan State University only recently discovered how the pathogen commonly found
Continue Reading Researchers discover how foodborne pathogen triggers GBS
A newly published study by Australian researchers describes how particularly virulent strains of Campylobacter jejuni are able to cause gastroenteritis in humans. It is reportedly the first time such a bacterial sensor has been identified.
