title: Pathogen: Campylobacter jejuni from environmental sample (feral pig feces) in California
organism: Campylobacter jejuni
description: In a large study of Campylobacter jejuni isolates in the UK, strains from wild birds were shown to be genetically distinct from strains from farm animals. Here, we utilized comparative genotyping of sympatric C. jejuni isolates from livestock (21), water (8) and wild passerine birds (31) located in the agriculturally important Salinas Valley of California to explore the potential exchange of C. jejuni strains between livestock and wild passerine birds located in the same region.
