Campylobacter species are widely regarded as the most frequent bacterial cause of gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. Their main transmission routes are via contaminated food and water. For interventions to be effective, methods for the detection, identification and epidemiological subtyping must be sensitive, accurate and rapid. As yet, methods are not perfect, although several significant advances have been made in these areas in recent years. This paper provides a brief review and commentary on the current state of the art in the hope that it will help provide context for others in selecting, improving or developing these vital tools for research and diagnoses.
弯曲菌属被广泛认为是全世界人类中最常见的细菌性肠胃炎致病菌。其主要传播途径是通过污染的食物和水。为了使干预措施有效，检测、鉴定和流行病学亚型划分的方法必须具有敏感性、准确性和快速性。尽管近年来在这些领域取得了一些重大进展，但到目前为止，这些方法并不完善。本文简要回顾和评论了目前的最新技术状态，希望这有助于为其他人选择、改进或开发这些用于研究和诊断的重要工具提供背景信息。
