Abstract

Campylobacter spp. is an important zoonotic foodbome bacteria that causes human gastroenteritis globally, with diarrhoea as the most common symptom. It is generally found as a commensal in the digestive tracts of many agricultural animals, including chickens. Backyard chickens can be a source of ampylobacteriosis to humans. The main objective of this review was to describe the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter spp. in backyard chickens. We followed PRISMA guidelines to search for studies reporting occurrence ofCampylobacter spp. in backyard chickens and the antibiotic susceptibility patterns ofthe isolates. PubMed and SCOPUS were searched for studies published on the topic. Ten articles fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria following filter and appraisal ofthe articles. This study found no clear difference in the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. between backyard chickens and other poultry production systems. Prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in backyard chickens gathered from this review ranged from 18.2% to 68%. Campylobacter jejuni is the predominant species isolated from backyard chicken farms as reported by most studies in this review, while Campylobacter coli was more frequently reported for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) compared to C. jejuni. Prevalence ofC. jejuni ranges from 13.1% to 88.6% while C. coli has a prevalence range ofbetween 0% to 71%. However, multiple drug resistance phenotypes were similarly reported for both C. jejuni and C. coli, ofwhich will cause greater public health concern owing to virulence and limited antimicrobial options. There are still insufficient peer-reviewed studies reporting on the prevalence and AMR of Campylobacter spp. in backyard chickens from around the globe in particular from developing and underdeveloped countries. Therefore, encouraging more high-quality research in this area is important to allow for a more accurate and updated prevalence rate being reported worldwide, reflecting the actual burden and spread of Campylobacter spp. in backyard chickens.
