Project Description
Campylobacter is the principal global cause of bacterial enteritis, and infections have been shown to be predominantly derived from poultry. This project will study the genomes of microbes to differentiate and determine the relative contribution from industrially produced and community reared poultry to human campylobacteriosis. The long-term goal of this project is to decrease the burden of drug resistant
Campylobacter in human populations through the effective control of campylobacteriosis in poultry production and food processing.
