POTENTIAL GENETIC TARGETS FOR CONTROLLING CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading causes of bacterial diarrhea worldwide and the most common antecedent in peripheral neuropathies such as Guillain Barré and Miller Fisher syndromes (Blaser et al., 2000). Despite the medical and socioeconomic importance of C. jejuni, the proportion of human disease caused by different sources of infection remains unclear. Indeed, this issue has hindered effective control strategies against reducing C. jejuni levels from the food chain. Up to date, a vast number of phenotypic and genotypic typing systems and a large number of databases have been developed in order to determine the different Campylobacter infection sources. However, traditional methods are unable to discriminate strains from different sources that are responsible for causing disease
