Campylobacter: fluoroquinolone resistance in Latin-American countries

Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli are zoonotic bacteria recognised as a major cause of human gastroenteritis and frequent cause of bacterial food-borne illness around the world. A great variety of food-producing animals, especially poultry are important reservoir involved in their spread to humans. C...
