Improved monitoring tools are important for the control of Campylobacter bacteria in poultry production. Standardized reference culture methods issued by national and international standardization organizations are time-consuming, cumbersome and not amenable to automation for screening of large numbers of samples. The ultimate goal for rapid monitoring of Campylobacter is to prevent contaminated meat from entering the food market. Currently, real-time PCR is fulfilling abovementioned criteria to a certain extent. Further development of real-time PCR, microarray PCR, miniaturized biosensors, chromatographic techniques and DNA sequencing can improve our monitoring capacity at a lower cost. Combined with innovative sampling and sample treatment, these techniques could become realistic options for on-farm and liquid-sample monitoring at slaughterhouses.

The prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in meat and meat products is a significant public health challenge, largely driven by the excessive and inappropriate use of antimicrobials in animal husbandry. In Poland, a key meat producer in Europe, antibiotic-resistant pathogens such as spp., spp.

Background: Gastric diseases caused, in particular, by , non-typhoidal , and resulting from food and/or water problems, are a disproportionately distributed burden in developing countries in Central Africa. The aim of this work was to compile a list of studies establishing the prevalence of the involvement of these bacterial genera in diarrheal syndromes in Central Africa from 1998 to 2022.
Methods: The Preferred Reporting Articles for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, six (6) database (Pubmed, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Freefullpdf, and Scinapse) were perused for research on the role of , and diarrheal infections in humans and animals, in 9 country of Central Africa over from 1998 to 2022.

Article Synopsis
- Macrolides are the preferred treatment for campylobacteriosis, with low resistance rates in France, primarily due to specific mutations and two identified methyltransferases.
- Between 2018 and 2023, 280 erythromycin-resistant strains were sequenced, revealing a significant rise in resistance markers, especially with mutations being present in 90% of cases.
- The majority of resistant isolates originated from chickens, indicating the need for close monitoring of resistant strains in poultry production.
Metabarcoding analysis of oral microbiome during pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy involves significant hormonal and metabolic changes to support fetal development, which the study investigates through changes in the salivary microbiome and biochemical markers between the second and third trimesters.
- Saliva samples from 45 pregnant women were analyzed using advanced DNA sequencing techniques, revealing notable shifts in microbial diversity, including a 3-fold increase in Bacteroidota and changes in other microbial taxa.
- Biochemical changes included increased BMI, pulse rate, glucose, and cholesterol levels in the third trimester, along with correlations between these factors and microbial abundance, emphasizing the need for monitoring oral health and metabolic health during pregnancy.
Holistic monitoring of Campylobacter jejuni biofilms with NanoLuc bioluminescence.
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol
December 2024
Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of foodborne zoonotic infections worldwide, shows a paradoxical ability to survive despite its susceptibility to environmental and food-processing stressors. This resilience is likely due to the bacterium entering a viable but non-culturable state, often within biofilms, or even initiating biofilm formation as a survival strategy. This study presents an innovative application of NanoLuc bioluminescence to accurately monitor the development of C.
