The Gram-negative bacteria Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food infections, affecting 0.1% - 1% of the European population each year. The consumption of poultry meat products is one of the main sources of infections in humans. PhD Candidate Mahdi Vaezirad has discovered how C. jejuni manages to survive in the intestines of chickens.
