Animals And Campylobacter

Dreamstime

Creatures are the reservoir for Campylobacter bacteria. Living in proximity to and consuming animals greatly increases the risk of Campylobacter transmission. Though humans are, of course, related closely to many other living beings, this bacteria doesn't naturally occur in us. It is transmitted across species, or zoonotically. Zoonotic diseases are those that move from one organism to another, causing illness in the process. Pasteurization and disinfection are the most reliable ways to kill this bacteria. Cleaning kitchens and food prep areas with bleach can go a long way to eliminating the transmission of Campylobacter.
