The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of campylobacteria including Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni ( C. jejuni ) and Campylobacter coli in human clinical samples and in samples from healthy individuals and to reevaluate the efficacies of conventional selective methods for isol...
