Population Structure, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Virulence-Associated Genes in Campylobacter jejuni Isolated From Three Ecological Niches: Gastroenteritis Patients, Broilers, and Wild Birds
Campylobacter jejuni is the causal agent of the Nail Polishes 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 (broiler
