Campylobacter species are sensitive to hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and acid reduction treatment can reduce the amount of inoculum needed to cause disease. [ citation needed ] Exposure to bacteria is often more common during travelling, and therefore campylobacteriosis is a common form of travelers' diarrhea .
Campylobacter jejuni is a species of pathogenic bacteria that is commonly associated with poultry, and is also often found in animal feces. This species of microbe is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in Europe and in the US, with the vast majority of cases occurring as isolated events rather than mass outbreaks.
The disease that some of the species of the bacteria can cause is called campylobacteriosis. [b] At least a dozen species of Campylobacter have been implicated in human disease, with C. jejuni (80–90%) and C. coli (5–10%) being the most common.
Foodborne disease can be caused by a number of bacteria, such as Campylobacter jejuni, and chemicals, such as pesticides, medicines, and natural toxic substances, such as vomitoxin, poisonous mushrooms, or reef fish. [3] Foodborne illness usually arises from improper handling, preparation, or food storage.
Campylobacter infections are transmitted to a host via contaminated water and food, sexual activity, and interaction with infected animals. [5] Symptoms include diarrhea, cramping, and abdominal pain. [11] Campylobacter can cause disease in both humans and animals, and most human cases are induced by the species Campylobacter jejuni.

The outbreak in Pune is being traced to a pathogen called campylobacter jejuni, a leading cause of foodborne infections, and the biggest driver of GBS worldwide. The link between the two was ...
Bovine campylobacteriosis is caused by Campylobacter jejuni or Campylobacter coli. Although it is a commensal in the gastrointestinal tract of many species, it can cause diarrhea - mainly in young animals. It is most commonly seen in cattle, but may also infect many other species, including humans.
Campylobacter coli is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, non-endospore-forming, S-shaped bacterial species within genus Campylobacter. [1] In humans, C. coli can cause campylobacteriosis, a diarrhoeal disease which is the most frequently reported foodborne illness in the European Union. [2] C. coli grows slowly with an optimum temperature of 42 ...
