Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter -specific bacteriophage were enumerated from broiler chicken ceca selected from 90 United Kingdom flocks ( n = 205). C. jejuni counts in the presence of bacteriophage (mean log 10 5.1 CFU/g) were associated with a significant ( P < 0.001) reduction compared to samples with Campylobacter alone (mean log 10 6.9 CFU/g).Keywords
