“…Owing to this problem, Bolton and Robertson in 1977 developed a selective Preston medium suitable for Campylobacter isolation from environmental and food samples (Bolton and Robertson, 1982). Several other selective broths and media latter developed for Campylobacter isolation includes Bolton broth, Preston broth and Campylobacter enrichment broth (Baylis et al., 2000), modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar (mCCDA) (Wei et al., 2018), CampyFood agar (CFA) and broth, RAPID’ Campylobacter agar (Seliwiorstow et al., 2014), Campylobacter agar base (CAB) and Campylobacter Cefex agar (Kashappanavar et al., 2018). Campylobacter species are microaerobic, fastidious bacteria capable of growing in a temperature between 37 °C and 42 °C (Davis and DiRita, 2017).…”

Campylobacter species are among the leading cause of bacterial foodborne and waterborne infections. In addition, Campylobacter is one of the major causative agent of bacterial gastrointestinal infections and the rise in the incidence of Campylobacter infections have been reported worldwide. Also, the emergence of some Campylobacter species as one of the main causative agent of diarrhea and the propensity of these bacteria species to resist the actions of antimicrobial agents; position them as a serious threat to the public health. This paper reviews Campylobacter pathogenicity, infections, isolation and diagnosis, their reservoirs, transmission pathways, epidemiology of Campylobacter outbreaks, prevention and treatment option, antibiotics resistance and control of antibiotics use.
