Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) causes gastroenteritis following the consumption of contaminated poultry meat, resulting in a large health and economic burden worldwide.

However, C. jejuni can resist infections by some phages through stochastic, phase-variable ON/OFF switching of the phage receptors...
