Survey of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in different taxa and ecological guilds of migratory birds

A total of 169 faecal samples were collected from migrating birds, belonging to the Order of Passeriformes, in Campania region in order to isolate Campylobacter spp. Campylobacter spp. were isolated from 39 of the 169 birds examined (23.1%).
