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.

Can good broiler flock welfare prevent colonization by Campylobacter?

The paper investigates whether broiler flock welfare metrics affect Campylobacter colonization using logistic regression and Bayesian networks, finding no direct exacerbation but suggesting shared underlying causes.

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.
