Highlights from the last 2 years in Campy

It has been two years since the last major Campylobacter meeting, and there have been a number of exciting publications during that time. We have catalogued some of the highlights here.

• AMR
• Applied - vaccines, control strategies, feed additives, farms, chickens
• Clinical micro/outbreaks/epidemiology and public health
• Emerging Campylobacter species
• Global differences in Campylobacter epidemiology
• Host adaptation/evolution
• Immunology and Host response
