Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni produces several virulence factors to colonize the poultry gastrointestinal tract. In commercial broiler chickens, this colonization appears to be predominantly commensal, with C. jejuni found in large numbers in the intestinal mucosa. The consumption of contaminated chicken meat is the major source of human campylobacteriosis, which makes the understanding of the mechanisms of colonization important in the search for alternatives for the treatment and prevention of such zoonosis. In the past few years, the research on the colonization mechanism of C. jejuni in chickens has significantly advanced. This chapter summarizes our increasing knowledge about the main virulence factors involved in the colonization of poultry.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A sigma factor (σ) is a bacterial transcription initiation factor that enables specific binding of RNA polymerase to gene promoters. These proteins are distinguished by their characteristic molecular weights (e.g. σ28 refers to the sigma factor with a molecular weight of 28 kDa).
