A recent study has demonstrated the potential of competitive exclusion cultures in controlling Campylobacter jejuni in broiler chickens.

Danish researchers and businesses will use a grant to find new ways to prevent Campylobacter on chicken meat in an effort to prevent foodborne illness outbreaks.

Research scientists have discovered how harmless Escherichia coli gut bacteria in chickens can mutate—picking up the genes necessary to evolve, and thus causing infections in poultry and humans.
