Campylobacter is regarded as a leading cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis in the United States. We report on a case of laboratory-confirmed Campylobacter jejuni infection in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania among members of a household living with a laboratory-confirmed but non-speciated Campylobacter-infected puppy. We describe an outbreak of likely dog-associated campylobacteriosis, the risk factors, potential routes of exposure and the clinical features in the exposed family members, which began shortly after exposure to the recently purchased dog. We also provide public health recommendations to prevent Campylobacter infections in veterinary care providers, pet owners and those planning to adopt pets in the future. Finally, this report underscores the importance of the One Health approach when public health responders, human and animal healthcare providers and clinical diagnostic laboratories are tasked with developing effective strategies when investigating, detecting and responding to zoonoses (diseases shared between animals and humans).
弯曲杆菌被认为是美国人类细菌性肠胃炎的主要病因。我们报告了宾夕法尼亚州一例实验室确诊的空肠弯曲菌感染病例，该病例发生在一户与一只实验室确诊但未明确菌种的弯曲杆菌感染幼犬共同生活的家庭中。我们描述了一起可能与狗相关的弯曲杆菌病暴发，包括暴露家庭成员中的危险因素、潜在暴露途径和临床特征，这些在接触最近购买的狗后不久就开始出现。我们还提供了公共卫生建议，以预防兽医护理人员、宠物主人以及未来计划收养宠物的人感染弯曲杆菌。最后，本报告强调了“同一健康”方法的重要性，即在公共卫生应急人员、人类和动物医疗保健提供者以及临床诊断实验室负责制定有效策略来调查、检测和应对人畜共患病（动物和人类共患的疾病）时。
