Abstract
ABSTRACT : Campylobacter infections are amongst the most frequently encountered foodborne bacterial infections around the world. Handling and consumption of raw or undercooked poultry products have been determined to be the main route of transmission. The ability to use phages to target these bacteria has been studied for more than a decade and although we have made progress towards deciphering how best to use phages to control Campylobacter associated with poultry production, there is still much work to be done. This review outlines methods to improve the isolation of these elusive phages, as well as methods to identify desirable characteristics needed for a successful outcome. It also highlights the body of research undertaken so far and what criteria to consider when doing in-vivo studies, especially because some in-vitro studies have not been found to translate into to phage efficacy in-vivo.1. Historical overview about Campylobacter spp.: It is a well-known fact that poultry appeared to be a significant source of Campylobacter and chicken was found to be heavily intestinal carriers of Campylobacter when compared with other food animals (Humphrey et al., 2007)
