ConclusionsIn several cases, theC. jejuni strains isolated from the consumed broiler meat and from the campylobacteriosis case had the same profile, according to the used typing methods. The circulatingCampylobacter strains appear to have remained the same from 2011 till 2013 in Belgium.Significance and Impact of the StudyThis study corroborates previously published data from Belgium that suggest a strong correlation betweenC. jejuni strains isolated from broiler meat and from campylobacteriosis patients.
