Ways To Treat Campylobacter

Campylobacter bacteria is curved shaped or comma-shaped and can cause disease in humans and animals. It thrives in poultry and is contracted by eating contaminated food. This bacteria can also spread from humans by being in contact with an asymptomatic infected animal. There are more than a dozen types of Campylobacter species that make individuals sick.

One of the most common causes of bacterial foodborne diseases is due to C.jejuni and C.coli bacteria. They can survive in low oxygen environments and are non-fermentative. Once infected with campylobacter, it can be difficult to kill.
