Direct plating on selective agar allowed enumeration of viable
bacteria from 43 % of liver samples with counts ranging from 1.8 - > 3.8 log10 CFU/cm2
for surface samples, and 3.0 – > 3.8 log10 CFU/g for internal tissue samples. Three C.
jejuni isolates recovered from internal liver tissues were assessed for their ability to
colonise the intestines and extra-intestinal organs of broiler chickens following oral
