Host clustering of Campylobacter species and enteric pathogens in a longitudinal cohort of infants, family members and livestock in rural Eastern Ethiopia
A comprehensive analysis of Campylobacter diversity in humans and livestock in a low-resource setting revealed that infants can be exposed to multiple Campylobacter species early in life. C. jejuni is the dominant species with a propensity for co-occurrence with other notable enteric bacterial pathogens, including Salmonella, and Shigella, especially among infants. Video Abstract.
