Campylobacter

Campylobacter rarely causes clinical disease in poultry, but birds of all ages serve as effective carriers. C. jejuni is the predominant species linked to zoonotic risk, often leading to gastrointestinal infections in humans. The pathogen spreads quickly within the poultry flock, making fast and reliable detection crucial for preventing outbreaks.

AeroCollect® can efficiently detect Campylobacter in the flock, even before symptoms appear. This allows for the timely application of corrective measures in production, helping to safeguard both animal and human health.

On suspicion or during surveillance of Campylobacter in the flock, AeroCollect® can aid in determining whether the pathogen is present. During an active infection, animals will be amplifying and excreting Campylobacter to the environment. This excretion can be detected in the air with the AeroCollect® air samples.

Below you find the specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and Kohen’s Kappa for the comparison of air samples with traditional boot swab samples:

	Compared to reference sample
Sensitivity SE	95.0 %
Specificity SP	91.9 %
Accuracy AC	100 %
Cohen’s Kappa k	0.87 (very good agreement)
