Campylobacteriosis:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Campylobacteriosis is transmitted by the consumption of contaminated food, such as raw poultry, fresh produce, water, or unpasteurized milk; and through contact with an infected person's stool. Transmission is also possible through contact with infected pets and wild animals. Risk factors include recent family infection with C. jejuni and travel to an area with poor hygiene or sanitation practices.
Campylobacteriosis, which is more common in the summer months, is the most common bacterial cause of diarrheal illness in the United States.

Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae infections:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Although some strains of E. coli exist as part of the normal GI flora, infection usually results from certain nonindigenous strains. For example, noninvasive diarrhea results from two toxins produced by strains called enterotoxic or enteropathogenic E. coli. Enteropathogenic E. coli serotype 0157:H7 is the most well-known strain in the United States. These toxins interact with intestinal juices and promote excessive loss of chloride and water. In the invasive form, E. coli directly invades the intestinal mucosa without producing enterotoxins, thereby causing local irritation, inflammation, and diarrhea. Normal strains can cause infection in immunocompromised patients.
Transmission can occur directly from an infected person or indirectly by ingestion of contaminated food or water or contact with contaminated utensils. Incubation takes 12 to 72 hours.
Incidence of E. coli infection is highest among travelers returning from other countries, particularly Mexico, Southeast Asia, and South America. E. coli infection also induces other diseases, especially in people whose resistance is low. The strain E. coli 0157:H7 has been associated with undercooked hamburger and with animals and petting zoos.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Bacterial diseases usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Bacterial diseases at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Bacterial diseases refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Bacterial diseases diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
