Population Structure, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Virulence-Associated Genes in Campylobacter jejuni Isolated From Three Ecological Niches: Gastroenteritis Patients, Broilers, and Wild Birds

Abstract excerpt

Campylobacter jejuni is the causal agent of the food-borne infection with the highest incidence in Europe. Both poultry and wild birds are a major reservoir. To gain insight into the population structure, virulence potential and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a collection of 150 isolates from three different ecological niches (broilers, wild birds and human patients) was studied. Despite the high genetic...
