Genome-wide fitness analyses of the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni in in vitro and in vivo models

Abstract Campylobacter is the most common cause of foodborne bacterial illness worldwide. Faecal contamination of meat, especially chicken, during processing represents a key route of transmission to humans. There is a lack of insight into the mechanisms driving C. jejuni growth and survival within...
