  1. Campylobacter JEJUNIThe Silent Danger Shatasha M. Lawson, MPH Student Walden University PUBH 6165-2 Environmental Health Dr. Rebecca Heick Spring, 2010

  2. Welcome

  3. Presentation Outcomes • Define Campylobacter Jejuni and its mode of transmission • Recognize potential environments for contamination, as well as the most common hosts for contamination • Be able to design and develop safety programs aimed at reducing the number of occurrences of Campylobacter Jejunicontamination

  4. What are Food-Borne Illnesses • Food borne illnesses are caused by bacterial pathogens • 76 million estimated cases in the U.S. each year • Most cases are mild and resolve within one to two days • 325,000 hospitalization each year; 5000 deaths • Age, immunity health and volume of exposure are significant factors Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2005). How many cases of food borne illnesses are there in the united states. Retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/foodborneinfections_g.htm#howmanycases United States Department of Agriculture – Food Safety and Inspection Service (2006).

  5. What is Campylobacter? • Campylobacteriosis • Mode of Transmission • One of the most common food-borne illnesses in the United States • 2.4 million people or 0.8% of the population affected each year; 13 cases diagnosed each year per 100,000 persons in the population • Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Altekruse, S.F., Stern, N.J., Fields, P.I., Swerdlow, D.L.

  6. Public Health Implications • Guillain- Barre̒ Syndrome • One case for every 1,000 cases of Campybacteriosis • 20% of infected individuals will have a lasting disability; 5% will ultimately die • Antimicrobial-resistance Altekruse, S.F., Stern, N.J., Fields, P.I., Swerdlow, D.L.

  7. Prevention • General hygiene practices • Reduction of contamination at the farming level • Reduction of contamination at the processing level • Proper food handling techniques Altekruse, S.F., Stern, N.J., Fields, P.I., Swerdlow, D.L.
