  Campy Check   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Although the presence of new Campylobacteraceae was demonstrated over 10 years ago, very few substantial studies have been published to determine the true prevalence of these new species in the clinical environment.
At present there remains a lack of information on the prevalence of emerging Campylobacteraceae in the epidemiology of gastro-enteritis worldwide, partly because there is a lack of generally accepted and widely applied typing schemes.
The aim of this CAMPYCHECK research project is to address the limitations of current isolation and identification methods and establish the prevalence of these microorganisms in patient and animal faeces and the food and water chain in three different continents.

 Oxoid on bacteria trail
Entitled 'Improved physiological, immunological and moleculartools for the recovery and identification of emerging Campylobacteraceae in the food and water chain', the programme aims to minimise the impact of this virulent strain of bacteria within the EU.
Current epidemiological statistics show that Campylobacter jejuni is the major cause of human gastroenteritis with between 400 -500 million cases of diarrhoea per year attributed to this organism.
A risk assessment model for emerging Campylobacteraceae in food and waterwill be generated which will be a major benefit to both the food and waterindustries and public health bodies alike.

 Oxoid Involved in Major Campylobacter Project
The CAMPYCHECK project will focus on emerging Campylobacteraceae looking at the development of routine isolation and detection methods which will allow effective screening of samples in outbreak situations.
Epidemiological data on the micro-organisms will be generated that will be essential to the instigation of effective control measures for food and water.

 Digesting food safety
Stating the obvious perhaps, keeping food safe for consumers is undeniably a key priority for the food industry and governments alike.
Once the campycheck project has improved isolation, detection and identification procedures for the analysis of Campylobacteraceae in the food and water chain, the food industry can fully get to grips with risk analysis, discussing the issue with industry, consumers and government.
Most of them have been associated with disease in animals and man. For example, Campylobacter jejuni is the major cause of human gastro-enteritis worldwide, responsible for 400 to 500 million cases of diarrhoea each year.

Entitled ‘Improved physiological, immunological and molecular tools for the recovery and identification of emerging Campylobacteraceae in the food and water chain’, the programme aims to minimise the impact of this virulent strain of bacteria within the EU.
Current epidemiological statistics show that Campylobacter jejuni is the major cause of human gastroenteritis with between 400 -500 million cases of diarrhoea per year attributed to this organism.
Contaminated drinking and surface water, poultry, pig, sheep and cattle meat, unpasteurised milk and salads have all been implicated in Campylobacter jejuni outbreaks.

 Arcobacter butzleri: underestimated enteropathogen. - Journal, Magazine, Article, Periodical
This species ranks fourth for Campylobacteraceae isolation and appears to have the same pathogenic potential as the other species in the genus.
In a South African study, 15 A. butzleri were identified among 3,877 Campylobacteraceae strains isolated from children's diarrheic stools (7).
She is responsible for the analyses and development of molecular methods applied to the diagnosis and characterization of Campylobacteraceae.

Therefore, a joint European, US and South African project that started 7 months ago is aiming to develop methods capable of isolating and identifying these bacteria.
The routine detection methods are inadequate for a growing number of emerging Campylobacteraceae.
In the CAMPYCHECK project improved isolation, detection and identification procedures for the analysis of Campylobacteraceae in the food and water chain are developed and the risk exposure is discussed with industry, consumers and other relevant interest groups.

 Flair Flow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
There are 30 named types in the Campylobacteraceae family, most of which have been associated with disease in animals and man. Epidemiological evidence suggests that C. jejuni is the major cause of human gastroenteritis worldwide, causing 400-500 million cases of diarrhoea each year.
Previously used methods for isolation and identification primarily detected C. jejuni and C. coli, which were assumed to be the key Campylobacteraceae of clinical relevance, but current methods are inadequate for emerging Campylobacteraceae.
Consequently, until methods are developed to isolate and identify these bacteria, and to find out how they are spread and harboured, the true extent of their clinical relevance remains unknown.
