Abstract :Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a food borne pathogen that causes gastroenteritis worldwide and
neurological diseases in humans. Poultry meat is considered the principal source for human infection;
in particular when under cocked chicken meals are consumed. Phages against Campylobacter spp.
could represent innovative weapons to use for reducing pathogen loads in chickens (phage therapy)
or to decontaminate broiler meats. For this purpose, new protocols for phage isolation should be
promoted in order to detect a more diversified group of Campylobacter spp. predators from the
environment. Moreover, phage morphological characterization by the use of Transmission Electron
Microscope (TEM) could contribute in the process of selection of efficient phage’s to exploit in
phage therapy and meat decontamination for enhancing human health and safety.
