Phenotypic characterization and antimicrobial resistance of <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> and <i>Campylobacter coli</i> in broiler chickens and slaughterhouse workers in Algeria

These findings underscore poultry as critical reservoirs of thermotolerant <i>Campylobacter</i> and the urgent need for a coordinated One Health approach, which is vital to minimize the risk of bacterial transmission and <i>Campylobacter</i> infections, as well as to combat antibiotic resistance. This approach integrates surveillance and control measures to address the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health in Algeria.
