Abstract: Campylobacter is a bacterial foodborne pathogen that is the leading cause of human gastroenteritis worldwide. The main route of transmission of Campylobacter is via undercooked meat and meat products, as well as via raw or contaminated milk. Several studies have been published and a majority of them described the increasing and emerging antimicrobial resistance in this organism. In this chapter, we will summarize the latest studies on the whole genomic data, epidemiology and transmission, pathogenicity and virulence, and biofilm formation of Campylobacter; the immune responses to Campylobacter infection; the glycosylation in Campylobacter; and the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter.

TL;DR: It is shown that cellular response to CpG DNA is mediated by a Toll-like receptor, TLR9, and vertebrate immune systems appear to have evolved a specific Toll- like receptor that distinguishes bacterial DNA from self-DNA.

Recognition of Commensal Microflora by Toll-Like Receptors Is Required for Intestinal Homeostasis
Seth Rakoff-Nahoum,Justin C. Paglino,Fatima Eslami-Varzaneh,Stephen C. Edberg,Ruslan Medzhitov +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that commensal bacteria are recognized by TLRs under normal steady-state conditions, and this interaction plays a crucial role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and protection from injury.

STATs and Gene Regulation
TL;DR: The discovery of a STAT in Drosophila, and most recently in Dictyostelium discoideum, implies an ancient evolutionary origin for this dual-function set of proteins.

Cutting edge: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-deficient mice are hyporesponsive to lipopolysaccharide: evidence for TLR4 as the Lps gene product.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TLR4 is the gene product that regulates LPS response, and a single point mutation of the amino acid that is highly conserved among the IL-1/Toll receptor family is found.

Bacterial iron homeostasis
TL;DR: The expression of the iron homeostatic machinery is subject to iron-dependent global control ensuring that iron acquisition, storage and consumption are geared to iron availability and that intracellular levels of free iron do not reach toxic levels.
