Campylobacter research looks for antibiotic resistance

Since the different pig populations never came into contact, the researchers concluded that the environment must be playing a large role in the continuing survival of antibiotic-resistant C. coli.

The objectives of this study were to compare and characterize the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter in conventional and antimicrobial-free production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment.
