Abstract
Campylobacteriosis has been described as an
emerging foodborne disease, causing bacterial
gastroenteritis in humans (Kwan et al., 2008)
and poultry and is main reservoir for humanbeings
(Moore et al., 2005). Campylobacter spp.
normally colonise the gastrointestinal tract of
poultry and are transferred to poultry carcasses
and the environment under handling and
slaughter conditions (EFSA, 2005). Hence, this
present study was aimed to identify the prevalence
of Campylobacter jejuni in poultry meat
sold in retail outlets in and around Namakkal,
Tamil Nadu.
