Sažetak

Thermotolerant species of the bacterial genus Campylobacter (C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, C. upsaliensis) are the most common cause of food-
borne disease campylobacteriosis in developed countries. Poultry meat, especially fresh chicken meat, is considered the most important
source of infection in humans. Cross-contamination is the most signicant route of transmission of pathogens and therefore, prevention
presents the key of protecting human health. The spread of this zoonotic disease can be prevented by compliance with health and sanitary
measures in the breeding, transport, slaughtering process, processing of products of animal origin, placing food on the market and the
preparation of food in households.
