Arcobacters, emerging aetiologic agents of food-borne diarrhoeal illness in humans and animals are more frequently isolated in meat, especially poultry meat, pork and beef. Though human infection may exist, it has not been documented in Nigeria.
This review presents an update of scientific information in Nigeria on arcobacters as an emerging food-borne pathogen of public health significance in Nigeria.
A comprehensive reviews of literatures was adopted to give an update on scientific findings on the disease in Nigeria.
The review revealed scientific evidences attributing the cause of human and animal illness to Arcobacter spp. It also highlights efforts towards the development of animal models where in virulence and pathogenicity of primarily A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus isolated from human diarrhoeal stool samples were tested. This in turn elucidated the public health significance of this emerging food-borne pathogen. The review canvases for more investigation as to the role of arcobacters in food contamination and unrecognised food-borne disease in Nigeria.
弓形杆菌是人和动物食源性腹泻疾病新出现的病原体,在肉类尤其是禽肉、猪肉和牛肉中更频繁地被分离出来。虽然可能存在人类感染,但在尼日利亚尚未有相关记录。
本综述介绍了尼日利亚关于弓形杆菌作为一种在该国具有公共卫生意义的新出现的食源性病原体的科学信息更新情况。
采用对文献的全面综述来更新尼日利亚关于该疾病的科学发现。
该综述揭示了将人和动物疾病病因归因于弓形杆菌属的科学证据。它还强调了开发动物模型的努力,在这些模型中测试了主要从人类腹泻粪便样本中分离出的布氏弓形杆菌和嗜低温弓形杆菌的毒力和致病性。这反过来阐明了这种新出现的食源性病原体的公共卫生意义。该综述呼吁对尼日利亚弓形杆菌在食物污染和未被认识的食源性疾病中的作用进行更多调查。
