Abstract

Campylobacter species belong to the most important foodborne bacteria causing gastroenteritis in humans. In this review, we focus on current findings on the presence and survival of Campylobacter in the food chain and the environment. Compared to other foodborne pathogenic agents, thermophilic Campylobacter are very susceptible to environmental and technological stressors. However, different mechanisms enable their survival in the environment and the food chain. Further research is needed to improve our understanding of the survival mechanisms of Campylobacter in the environment and the food chain. Based on that, mitigation and intervention strategies can be optimized to subsequently reduce Campylobacter infections in humans.
