Non-jejuni/coli Campylobacter Species and Related Organisms in Poultry, and Their Relevance in Human and Animal Disease

Campylobacter spp. and Related Organisms in Poultry

Abstract

This chapter provides a survey of research on non-jejuni/coli Campylobacter spp. and related Arcobacter and Helicobacter species in poultry. The isolation and identification, clinical and veterinary relevance, and the pathogenicity and antibiotic sensitivity of the organisms are reviewed. Most studies done on poultry, especially chicken, have focused on C. jejuni and C. coli. Increasingly, other species, such as C. lari, C. upsaliensis, and C. avium, as well as species of the related genera Arcobacter and Helicobacter (for example, A. butzleri and H. pullorum), are being found in poultry. These fastidious bacteria may be undetected, or under detected, due to unsatisfactory isolation procedures. Investigations to understand the role of the non-jejuni/coli Campylobacter spp. in poultry infection and their disease potential in humans and animals are still on-going.
