Genomic Characterisation of Campylobacter jejuni Isolates Recovered During Commercial Broiler Production

Conclusion: The persistence of the most virulent strains detected in this study throughout the production cycle has important implications for the risk to consumers and requires further investigation. The detection of new strains within the population corresponding with the time of thinning and transportation reflects previous reports and provides further evidence that these activities pose a risk of introducing new Campylobacter strains to broiler batches.
