  • Beschreibung: The frequency of Campylobacter infections in human, their potential severity, and the existence of preventive measures warrant the creation of a surveillance system. A Campylobacter surveillance system based on private laboratories (PL) was set up in France in 2002 to complement the hospital laboratory-based system(HL). Since 1 January 2001 (for HL), 1 April 2002 (for PL) and 31 December 2003, the Campylobacter National reference Centre analyzed 3 698 strains. Initially thought to be 3.4/ 100,000, the overall isolation rate was grossly underestimated, as the latest figure is 14/ 100,000 among children under 5 years old. The strains were mainly C. jejuni (76.9%), followed by C. coli (17.0%) and C. fetus (5.4%). Resistance rates were 41% for ampicillin and 28% for nalidixic acid. Surveillance must be maintained to collect more data on Campylobacter epidemiology in France and to estimate its incidence in the general population.
