Campylobacter

Campylobacter is a type of bacteria commonly found in raw or undercooked poultry, meat, and unpasteurized dairy products. It is a leading cause of bacterial food poisoning worldwide, often resulting in symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Infection typically occurs through consuming contaminated food or water and can also spread through contact with infected animals. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases may require medical attention. Proper food handling, cooking, and hygiene practices are essential to prevent Campylobacter infections.
