Abstract :
[en] Enteric Campylobacter spp. bacteria are human pathogens that frequently contaminate poultry flocks. Consumption of products from poultry origin may then lead to acute bacterial enteritis called campylobacteriosis of which prevalence is increasing for about ten years in Europe. This review summarizes Campylobacter epidemiological data, risk factors for contamination in poultry flocks and conceivable strategies to control this pathogen. [fr] Campylobacter spp. est une bactérie entérique pathogène pour l’homme qui contamine fréquemment les élevages de volailles. La consommation de produits d’origine aviaire peut ainsi entraîner une gastro-entérite bactérienne aiguë appelée campylobactériose, dont la prévalence augmente depuis une dizaine d’année en Europe. Cette synthèse bibliographique résume les données épidémiologiques sur Campylobacter, les facteurs de risque de contamination dans les élevages de volailles et les stratégies envisagées pour lutter contre ce pathogène.
