Sažetak
Campylobacter spp. are commonly found in digestive tract of various warm-blooded animals and in the environment. Poultry is considered to be the main reservoir and a vector of transmission of these bacteria and because of it, significant for public health. Campylobacter (C.) jejuni and C. coli are the two most common causes of human campylobacteriosis. Campylobacter spp. has been monitored since 2007 in Croatia through a program for monitoring the prevalence Campylobacter spp. in broiler chicken farms and slaughterhouses. From 2017 until 2021, a total of 1714 broiler caecal samples were tested for the presence of Campylobacter spp., of which 918 (53.56%) samples were positive ; 21.82% of positive samples were identified as C. coli and 31.74% as C. jejuni. The highest prevalence was established in 2017 and lowest in 2021, showing a decrease in Campylobacter spp. occurrence. Campylobacter spp. display some seasonality in Croatia, with C. coli showing a small peak in spring and very high peak in summer, whereas C. jejuni does not show such a clear difference in seasonality.
