ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Campylobacter fact sheet: taxonomy, pathogenesis, isolation, detection and future perspectives

2010 
Background Campylobacter is the most common bacterial cause of gastro-intestinal disease worldwide with consumption of contaminated food or water typically being cited as principal sources of infection. Aims To inform the efforts of the EC-funded MoniQA project team investigating the harmonization and standardization of analytical methods for foods, we prepared a brief review of key aspects of these bacteria, encompassing taxonomy, behaviour in foods, clinical symptoms, isolation, detection, identification and subtyping. A summary of future needs and perspectives to help protect public health from this important human food- and water-borne pathogen is also given. Paulin SM., On SLW. (2010). Campylobacter fact sheet: taxonomy, pathogenesis, isolation, detection and future perspectives. Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods, 2, 127–132.
