Campylobacter is a leading foodborne zoonosis, and is frequently associated with the handling and consumption of poultry meat. Various studies have indicated that Campylobacter causes a substantial human disease burden in low to middle income countries. With the rapid growth of urban conglomerates, such as India’s commercial capital Mumbai, changes in diets, food production and retailing dynamics, it is likely that exposure to this pathogen will impact a significant role. It was thought worthwhile to conduct a preliminary study of the prevalence of Campylobacter species in retail poultry locales from Mumbai. In this study, 74% of the 120 retail poultry meat samples were found to be contaminated with Campylobacter which on speciation using multiplex PCR were differentiated to C. jejuni (57%) and C. coli (29.8%). The high incidence of Campylobacter in poultry meat in the city is indicative of its emergence as a potential risk to the consumers.
