Answer:
Campylobacter is a major human pathogen worldwide
Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli are considered for the majority of human food-borne infections (www.hpa.org.uk). Human food poisoning is acquired through the consumption of contaminated food. Poultry is a major food source of infection and infection can arises by consumption of under-cooked poultry meat or cross-contamination of other food products (www.food.gov.uk).
Other sources of infection include contaminated raw milk and water.
