A Mixed Methods Process Evaluation of a Food Hygiene Intervention in Low-Income Informal Neighbourhoods of Kisumu, Kenya

Sheillah Simiyu et al.

Summary: This study describes the implementation of a novel food hygiene intervention aimed at reducing diarrhoea causing enteric infections among children in low income peri urban settlements. The intervention achieved high coverage and fidelity, and the study found that caregivers in the intervention arm demonstrated better adherence to food hygiene behaviors compared to the control group. Contextual factors influenced the uptake of some intervention behaviors.

Milk Product Safety and Household Food Hygiene Influence Bacterial Contamination of Infant Food in Peri-Urban Kenya

Vivian Hoffmann et al.

Summary: This study compared the bacterial contamination of different types of milk at the point of purchase and during the preparation of infant food. Unpackaged milk was found to be the most contaminated, but pasteurized and UHT milk also showed bacterial contamination at purchase. The presence of bacteria in UHT and pasteurized milk at purchase predicted the presence of the same bacteria in infant food. The prevalence and concentration of bacterial contamination generally increased from the point of purchase to consumption in UHT and pasteurized milk-based food, but decreased in unpackaged milk-based food.

Prevalence, determinants, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Campylobacter infection among under-five children with diarrhea at Governmental Hospitals in Hawassa city, Sidama, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study

Yeshareg Behailu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and determinants of Campylobacter infection among under-fives with acute watery diarrhea, revealing associations with demographic and behavioral factors. Recommendations for further research were suggested to determine the species responsible for Campylobacter infection and their susceptibility patterns to guide appropriate antibiotic therapy.

Global epidemiology of campylobacteriosis and the impact of COVID-19

Fang Liu et al.

Summary: Campylobacteriosis is a global health concern that requires increased research and improved strategies for prevention. This review provides comprehensive and updated information on the global epidemiology of campylobacteriosis, including reported incidence and outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the reported incidence of campylobacteriosis, with a decrease observed in most countries where data were available.

A systematic review and meta-analysis reveal that Campylobacter spp. and antibiotic resistance are widespread in humans in sub-Saharan Africa

Delfina F. Hlashwayo et al.

Summary: Campylobacter spp. are prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, with Campylobacter jejuni being the most common species. The bacteria are mostly found in children, and have been linked to acute flaccid paralysis and urinary tract infections in some cases. While there is a higher prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in HIV-infected patients, the statistical significance is not clear. High levels of antibiotic resistance, particularly to erythromycin and tetracycline, have been reported.

Identification and Characterization of Campylobacter Species in Livestock, Humans, and Water in Livestock Owning Households of Peri-urban Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A One Health Approach

Gemechu Chala et al.

Summary: A study in peri-urban Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, identified and characterized Campylobacter species in humans, animals, and water sources, with significant antimicrobial resistance observed. The prevalence of Campylobacter species was high, with most isolates resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobials, highlighting the need for a One Health approach to investigate and address zoonotic infectious diseases in livestock owning populations.
