1. Gastrointestinal Infections: Campylobacter concisus is known to cause gastroenteritis in humans, characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea (which can be watery or bloody), abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. The severity and duration of symptoms can vary, ranging from mild and self-limiting to more severe and prolonged cases requiring medical attention.

2. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): There is growing evidence to suggest that Campylobacter concisus may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Some studies have reported higher prevalence rates of Campylobacter concisus in individuals with IBD compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role in disease pathogenesis or exacerbation.

3. Chronic Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Campylobacter concisus has been implicated in cases of chronic or persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, including chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating. In some individuals, the bacterium may establish long-term colonization in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to ongoing symptoms.

4. Transmission: Campylobacter concisus is primarily transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water, particularly raw or undercooked poultry, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated produce. Person-to-person transmission and exposure to contaminated environments may also contribute to the spread of infection.

5. Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of Campylobacter concisus infection is typically confirmed through stool culture or molecular methods. Treatment may involve supportive care to manage symptoms, including fluid replacement to prevent dehydration. In some cases, antibiotic therapy may be prescribed for severe or prolonged infections, although antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern.

6. Prevention: Preventive measures to reduce the risk of Campylobacter concisus infection include thorough cooking of poultry and other meats, pasteurization of milk, avoiding consumption of raw or undercooked foods, practicing good hygiene (such as handwashing), and ensuring proper sanitation in food preparation environments.
