Strategies in progress to control Campylobacter at the farm level.

Strategy Principle Advantage Drawback
Vaccination Improvement of the immune response against Campylobacter Easy to use Antigenic variability of Campylobacter strains
Bacteriophage therapy Use of specific bacterial virus to kill Campylobacter Rapid action Selection of resistant Campylobacter strains Production cost Diversity of Campylobacter strains
Bacteriocin treatment Use of bacteria-produced antimicrobial compounds against Campylobacter Easy to use Production cost Variable sensitivity of Campylobacter strains
Prebiotics Incorporation of feed additives to improve beneficial avian gut microbiota Easy to use Production cost Dependence on the avian gut microbiota
Probiotics Administration of beneficial microorganisms with anti-Campylobacter activity Easy to produce and to use Production cost Mix of multiple species Different ways of inhibiting Campylobacter Variable sensitivity of Campylobacter strains
