Campylobacter and associated organisms on retail chicken – using metagenomics to investigate the potential of utilising co-resident microbes for pathogen control

Abstract Background Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, with retail chicken meat representing a major source of infection. Campylobacter isolation from retail meat can be difficult due to the complex growth requirements of the organism. Metagenomic se...
