Diagnosing Campylobacter Infections: Symptoms, Treatment, and Transmission

Campylobacter infections, primarily caused by Campylobacter jejuni, can be transmitted through raw poultry, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated water. Symptoms typically onset within 2-5 days and include fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stools, vomiting, and cramping. These gram-negative bacteria are commonly spread via the fecal-oral route. Diagnosis can be done using antigen testing or PCR methods. Treatment focuses on fluid intake, electrolyte replacement, and may include antibiotics. Understanding these aspects is crucial for both humans and animals.
