Abstract
Campylobacter spp. has been recognized as one of the most frequent cause of
gastrointestinal illness in humans throughout world. In recent years, the frequency of
human enteritis caused by Campylobacter spp. has exceeded those caused by salmonella
especially in developed countries. The association of zoonotic Campylobacters with
chronic and life threatening complications such as guillain-barre syndrome, reactive
arthritis, haemolytic uraemic syndrome, abortion, meningitis etc. has increased the public
health concern worldwide. Campylobacteriosis is mainly a foodborne infection, and
poultry products may play an important role in transmission to humans. Therefore, the

Campylobacter spp. from raw poultry meat intended for the human consumption
available in the retail meat market in Anand, Gujarat.
