<i>Campylobacter</i> Biofilms: Potential of Natural Compounds to Disrupt <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Transmission

Microbial biofilms occur naturally in many environmental niches and can be a significant reservoir of infectious microbes in zoonotically transmitted diseases such as that caused by <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>, the leading cause of acute human bacterial gastroenteritis world-wide. The gr...
