Reduction of Campylobacter in broiler flocks: identification of risk factors, evaluation of increased biosecurity measures and the protective effect of the microbiota of Campylobacter free flocks Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In the industrialized world, Campylobacter is the most important bacterial cause of human gastro-enteritis. It is estimated that 50%-80% of all Campylobacter strains isolated from human cases are originating from the poultry reservoir.
