  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Foodborne campylobacteriosis is the most common cause of human bacterial enteritis in Germany. <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.10649" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter jejuni</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> and <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3790" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter coli</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> are the main causative agents for enteric disease, but a number of other species are involved, including rare ones. These rare <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="genus"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3786" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> spp. are emerging zoonotic pathogens in humans due to increasing international movement of supplies, livestock and people. <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3804" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter lanienae</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> was first isolated from healthy abattoir workers in Switzerland and at first its pathogenic potential for humans was considered to be low. Recently, the first case of <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3804" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter lanienae</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>-associated human enteritis was reported in Canada. Here, we describe a case of mild <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3804" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter lanienae</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>-associated enteritis with subsequent asymptomatic excretion in a butcher. The isolate is available at the TLV strain collection (no. TP00333/18). This first reported case of human <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="species"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.3804" xlink:type="simple">Campylobacter lanienae</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic> campylobacteriosis in Germany demonstrates the agent’s likely zoonotic pathogenicity.</jats:p>
