High resolution parallel sequencing reveals multi-strain Campylobacter in broiler chicken flocks testing 'negative' by conventional culture methods: implications for control of Campylobacter infection.

This study uses high-resolution sequencing to detect Campylobacter DNA in broiler chicken flocks, revealing its presence even when conventional methods fail, and highlights the diversity of strains in negative samples.

Mechanisms of biodiversity between Campylobacter sequence types in a flock of broiler-breeder chickens.

The paper investigates how multiple Campylobacter sequence types co-occur in a chicken flock by analyzing competition, transmission, and mortality parameters.

Deep sequencing reveals Campylobacter in commercial meat chickens less than 8 days old.

The paper uses molecular methods to detect Campylobacter in young chickens, finding that most carry the bacteria before traditional culture methods can detect it.

A mathematical modelling approach to uncover factors influencing the spread of Campylobacter in a flock of chickens

The paper uses Bayesian models to analyze Campylobacter spread in chickens, finding that seasonal variation and bird health influence prevalence of different species.

Domestication of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168

This study compares genetic and phenotypic variation in 23 isolates of the reference Campylobacter jejuni strain NCTC 11168, showing significant genomic and phenotypic differences despite being considered identical.
