Abstract

Campylobacter infections are the most commonly identified cause of human gastroenteritis in the United States. Increased resistance to several antimicrobials is being observed in Campylobacter from humans, swine, and poultry. Meanwhile, dairy cattle have been identified as sources of Campylobacter infection in humans through consumption of raw milk, educational visits to farms , or water contamination. Thus, dairy's role in dissemination of this foodborne pathogen warrants further study.
