弯曲杆菌属的成员已成为许多发达国家最常见的人类胃肠道病原体。弯曲杆菌属的普遍分布。动物宿主及其衍生食品中的此类媒介物使此类媒介成为感染弯曲杆菌病的主要危险因素。污染率、常见致病血清型的鉴定以及弯曲杆菌在地表水中的长期存活表明，与未经处理的水相关的潜在但尚未量化的弯曲杆菌病风险。活的但不可培养形式的弯曲杆菌的存在和潜在致病性仍然是一个有争议的话题。此外。这些形式在弯曲杆菌相关疾病的流行病学中的作用以及它们在大量无法从中分离出病原体的水源性胃肠炎暴发中的作用仍有待完全阐明。本文对弯曲杆菌属的生存和流行病学的当前观点进行了调查。在天然水系统中。
Members of the genus Campylobacter have established themselves as the most common human gastro-enteric pathogens throughout much of the developed world. The ubiquitous distribution of Campylobacter spp. in animal reservoirs and food products derived thereof make such vehicles primary risk factors in contracting campylobacteriosis. The contamination rates, identification of common pathogenic serotypes and extended survival of Campylobacter in surface waters illustrates the potential, but yet to be quantified, campylobacteriosis risk associated with untreated water.The existence and potential pathogenicity of viable but nonculturable forms of Campylobacter remains a contentious subject. Furthermore. the role of such forms in the epidemiology of Campylobacter related disease and their involvement in the large number of waterborne gastroenteritis outbreaks from which a disease agent cannot be isolated remains to be fully clarified. This article presents a survey of current perspectives with regard to the survival and epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. in natural water systems.
