Prevalence, antibiotic resistance, resistance and virulence determinants of Campylobacter jejuni in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is recognized as a serious food contaminant that extensively results in foodborne diseases. Numerous studies have been conducted on the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of C. jejuni, but there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of published data. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology, antibiotic resistance, and virulence determinants of C. jejuni in China through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The prevalence levels of C. jejuni from low to high were the humans (5.2 %, 95 % CI: 4.2-6.4 %), foods (12.5 %, 95 % CI: 9.7-15.6 %), animals (15.4 %, 95 % CI: 13.2-17.6 %), and environment (17.8 %, 95 % CI: 9.7-27.7 %), respectively. Furthermore, C. jejuni exhibits high resistance rates
