Abstract:
Campylobacter enteritis is endemic in Nigeria as in most other developing countries of the world. This paper examines the common biotypes and serogroups of Campylobacter in human and animal isolates. The observed correlation suggests a possible animal to human route of infection in Nigeria. Implications on preventive and control measures are discussed.
