2.3 Campylobacter spp.
Campylobacter spp. is recognized as the most common cause of foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in
humans [7]. Campylobacter is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, motile, with either uni- or bi-polar
flagella, the organisms have a somewhat curved, rod-like appearance, and are oxidase-positive. At least a
dozen species of Campylobacter have been implicated in human disease, with C. jejuni and C. coli the
most common. The former is usually responsible for the majority of enteric Campylobacter infections
(80-90%). Most of the infections are sporadic and occur at home. Contaminated poultry meat is one of
the most important vehicles for infection with Campylobacter spp. and studies have shown that carcasses
can carry over 108 Campylobacter cells [8]. Cross-contamination is greatly responsible for the
widespread of Campylobacter contamination.
