The Source of Infection, Biology and Molecular Typing of Campylobacter Species

Campylobacter is one of the leading of campylobacteriosis in developed and developing countries. The source of campylobacter are poultry, domestic animal, consumption of raw milk, contaminated water and human activities. To trace outbreak of this organism next-generation geographical tracing of bacteria. This is helping to shape our understanding of bacterial evolution. Campylobacter is the most prevalent and cause of intestinal infection. Tracing of this bacteria is difficult because this bacterium found in different animals. Molecular typing of has been use to know molecular epidemiology of campylobacter aiming tracing the source of infection by providing the genetic subtype that circulating in the environment and human infection. As mentioned in the source infection of campylobacteriosis, it found in many different animal range including fresh water. Thus, molecular typing methodologies helps for characterization and role out of source of infection to human. Whole genome sequencing is a powerful tool to achieve the know the molecular epidemiology of this bacteria in the human, poultry farm, milk and fro environment.
