description

Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative bacterium and is a commensal of many animal species (Skirrow and Blaser, 1992). In humans it is the major cause of human bacterial enteritis both in developed and developing countries (Tauxe, 1992; Taylor, 1992). Many cases of Campylobacter enteritis in humans have been associated with the consumption of or contact with undercooked chicken meat (Deming et al., 1987; Harris et al., 1986).
