Comparison of culture-based methods for detecting <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> and <i>Campylobacter hyointestinalis</i> in dairy cattle feces.

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter is the most commonly reported cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Although cattle are recognized as a potential reservoir for several Campylobacter spp., most detection standards primarily target thermotolerant species, notably Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, possibly underestimating the prevalence of others. This study evaluated the performance of different culture-based methods for detecting Campylobacter spp. in fecal samples collected rectally from dairy cows in a single commercial research herd across four time points. Six combinations of analyses were tested, involving either direct culture or enrichment broths (Preston and Bolton) paired with selective agar media (modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar
