Developing a phage cocktail targeting campylobacter species

background
Campylobacter spp. are widely distributed as a normal microbiota in the gut of both domestic and wild animals, and are also found in environmental samples, including surface water, soil, and feeds. The incidence of Campylobacter spp. in environmental sources is mainly related to fecal contamination. Poultry are the main reservoirs though bovine, swine, shoats, dog, and cat have also been recognized as other probable reservoirs for human disease. background
