Campylobacter jejuni is the most commonly reported bacterial cause of foodborne infection in the United States. Adding to the human and economic costs are chronic sequelae associated with C. jejuni infection--Guillian-Barré syndrome and reactive arthritis. In addition, an increasing proportion of human infections caused by C. jejuni are resistant to antimicrobial therapy. Mishandling of raw poultry and consumption of undercooked poultry are the major risk factors for human campylobacteriosis. Efforts to prevent human illness are needed throughout each link in the food chain.
空肠弯曲菌是美国食源性感染中最常报告的细菌性病因。与空肠弯曲菌感染相关的慢性后遗症——格林-巴利综合征和反应性关节炎，增加了人力和经济成本。此外，由空肠弯曲菌引起的人类感染中，对抗菌治疗耐药的比例越来越高。生禽处理不当和食用未煮熟的家禽是人类弯曲菌病的主要危险因素。需要在食物链的每个环节都做出努力来预防人类疾病。
