Regulation of oxidative stress resistance in Campylobacter jejuni, a microaerophilic foodborne pathogen
Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading bacterial causes of human gastroenteritis. Due to the increasing rates of human campylobacteriosis, C. jejuni is considered as a serious public health concern worldwide. C. jejuni is a microaerophilic, fastidious bacterium. C. jejuni must overcome a wide range of stress conditions during foodborne transmission to humans, such as food preservation and p...
متن کاملAn iron-regulated alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC) confers aerotolerance and oxidative stress resistance to the microaerophilic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni.
Microaerophiles like Campylobacter jejuni must resist oxidative stresses during transmission or infection. Growth of C. jejuni 81116 under iron limitation greatly increased the expression of two polypeptides of 26 and 55 kDa. The identification of these proteins by N-terminal amino acid sequencing showed both to be involved in the defense against oxidative stress. The 55-kDa polypeptide was ide...
متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni--an emerging foodborne pathogen.
Campylobacter jejuni is the most commonly reported bacterial cause of foodborne infection in the United States. Adding to the human and economic costs are chronic sequelae associated with C. jejuni infection--Guillian-Barré syndrome and reactive arthritis. In addition, an increasing proportion of human infections caused by C. jejuni are resistant to antimicrobial therapy. Mishandling of raw pou...
متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni : An emerging pathogen
Trachoo, N. Campylobacter jejuni : An emerging pathogen Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2003, 25(1) : 141-157 Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne diarrhea in many countries. However, in some countries, a number of cases were undetected because of the inappropriate detection method and ignorance. Although C. jejuni usually does not cause death in health adults, it can be deadly ...
متن کاملThe Campylobacter jejuni Oxidative Stress Regulator RrpB Is Associated with a Genomic Hypervariable Region and Altered Oxidative Stress Resistance
Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne diarrhoeal disease worldwide. Despite the microaerophilic nature of the bacterium, C. jejuni can survive the atmospheric oxygen conditions in the environment. Bacteria that can survive either within a host or in the environment like C. jejuni require variable responses to survive the stresses associated with exposure to different ...
