Abstract: Campylobacter is a main bacterial source of human acute gastroenteritis, many animals are natural host of Campylobacter and serves as major reservoirs for this pathogenic organism. As a foodborne pathogen, Campylobacter is transmitted to humans via food chain. Antimicrobial agents have been widely used for growth promotion and disease control. Thus, agricultural use of antibiotics poses a risk for selecting antibiotic resistant pathogens that can be potentially transmitted to humans and may compromise clinical treatment. In this article, prevalence and antimicrobial resistance data of China and abroad was introduced briefly.

Key words: Campylobacter; prevalence; resistance
