Abstract:
Campylobacter spp. is an important foodborne zoonotic pathogen. In the past few years, the increased spread and antimicrobial resistance of
Campylobacter resulted in highly concern from medical and veterinary fields. Europe, United States and China have all established the monitoring system of antibiotic resistance for
Campylobacter from various origins. Meanwhile, amounts of studies have been carried out. Animal was one of the major sources of
Campylobacter, so there is a potential risk for
Campylobacter to infect humans via food chain. Herein, this paper summarizes the research progress of
Campylobacter of animal origin for the better understanding of the spread and antibiotic resistance of
Campylobacter in Europe, United States and China.
