PREFACE
By 1977 it was clear that the thermophilic campylobacters were a major cause of acute
bacterial enteritis. In response to that observation an international workshop was convened in
Reading, England, and attracted over 130 participants. Many of these individuals resolutely
returned for the eighth in the series of biennial international workshops, this time held in Win-
chester, England, in July 1995. All were surprised at the continued, and even expanding, re-
search effort in this narrow microbiological field. Such a lasting interest is undoubtedly a
reflection of a consistent rise in the incidence of infection, the growing number of closely re-
lated organisms and disease associations, and an ever-increasing awareness by the public and
government agencies of public health and food safety issues.
The second workshop in Brussels in 1983 was a forum that demonstrated the growing
awareness in the campylobacter community of the existence of campylobacter-like organisms
and provided the platform for presentations describing the association of these organisms,
now classified in the genus Helicobacter. with gastroduodenal disease. The clinical aspects of
the research into helicobacters is now thoroughly covered in several other meetings, and the
remit of the international workshop has been expanded to provide a forum for the presentation
of the basic microbiological research carried out on these bacteria. In a continuation of this ap-
proach the remit of the workshop has been further extended to other related organisms, reflect-
ing that there are many other campylobacter-like organisms still to identify and characterize.
The nature of the research effort has expanded from the initial descriptions of the
basic microbiology and epidemiology of both the helicobacters and campylobacters to the
investigation of pathogenesis, genetics, and immunology; as with other bacterial patho-
gens, research now has a primarily molecular bias. The significance of infection by Heli-
cobacter is evident and reflected in the level of pharmaceutical industry support and
general research interest associated with these organisms. It is interesting to compare and
contrast the relative levels of research funding and the speed of progress associated with
the campylobacters and helicobacters since their first description. Without doubt the input
into the research on helicobacters by industry has resulted in impressive strides being
made in the understanding of the pathogenesis of this important pathogen. However, as
exemplified by the Helicobacter genome sequence, a significant amount of the data aris-
ing from this excellent work is not yet in the public domain. In contrast, the campylobac-
ters remain the "poor relation" in both overall research support and progress. This by no
means derides the admirable research efforts made in the campylobacter field but serves to
illustrate what progress might be made with similar resources.
The Winchester meeting would not have been possible without the financial support
of governmental agencies as well as various companies involved in diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention. The level of support is an indication of a continuing interest in expanding
the range of existing knowledge as well as the application of what is known to diagnosis

and prevention. We are also indebted to the attendees, who, with their superb research ef-
fort, excellent presentations, and "networking." made the workshop a successful and thor-
oughly enjoyable experience.
The international workshop, and therefore this book, are designed to describe and
discuss in an open forum of peer review the status of the work that is currently in pro-
gress. Therefore we hope that this book will serve as an important reference for those that
attended the workshop itself, as a source of information for those unfortunately unable to
attend, and as a statement of the current state of the field to scientists about to embark on
the study of these fascinating bacteria. We are certain that the research workers gained
from the critical and open discussion of their work during the workshop, and we look for-
ward to seeing full publication, in the scientific literature, of much of the preliminary data
presented in this volume before the next meeting.
At our invitation many of the participants extended their submitted abstracts to pro-
vide a more detailed manuscript. The major part of this book comprises these extended pa-
pers. These manuscripts have been gathered into major research topics regardless of
organism, each part being preceded by the summaries of discussions of the workshop and
written by the workshop chairpersons, relevant to that topic. Any unextended abstracts as-
sociated with that topic are included at the end of each part.
And so we can look forward to the next meeting. The venue for this meeting was
chosen in an open vote by attendees of the Winchester workshop and will be in Cape
Town, South Africa, in 1997. By the time of this next meeting we anticipate further sig-
nificant achievements to have been made in our understanding of the hiology of this im-
portant group of pathogenic bacteria.
