A 20-year-old man with an acute enteritis caused by Campylobacter fetus developed a haemolytic-uraemic syndrome on the fifth day of his disease. The pathogenesis of the disseminated intravascular coagulopathie , the nephropathie and the haemolysis are discussed. With increasing rate of isolation of Campylobacter, the connection of this infection with HUS may be seen more frequently.

Plasmids, known as important mobile genetic elements, often carry genes for antibiotic resistance, virulence, and self-mobilization.

Background: Thermophilic species are among the main culprits behind bacterial gastroenteritis globally and have grown progressively resistant to clinically important antimicrobials. Many studies have been carried out to explore innovative and alternative strategies to control antibiotic-resistant campylobacters in animal reservoirs and human hosts; however, limited studies have been performed to develop efficient control schemes against biofilms.

Methods: This study investigated the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of some herbal extracts against multidrug-resistant (MDR) species recovered from different sources using phenotypic and molecular techniques.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in species, particularly and , poses a significant public health threat. These bacteria, which are commonly found in livestock, poultry, companion animals, and wildlife, are the leading causes of foodborne illnesses, often transmitted through contaminated poultry. Extensive exposure to antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine creates selection pressure, driving resistance through mechanisms such as point mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and efflux pumps.
