This study studied the prevalence of thermotolerant Campylobacter in broilers at poultry farms (62.0 %) and in broiler carcasses at slaughter line (58.1 %) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Genetic diversity of isolates was limited: identical or very similar profiles were detected on individual Campylobacter-positive farms. Carcass cross contamination could not be observed in slaughter line samples: carcass isolates showed identical profiles to campylobacters from caeca from the same broiler batch.

Bilateral scientific projects between R Slovenia and R/F B&H related to Campylobacter epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance took place in the recent years. In this review, the key findings relating to Campylobacter epidemiology in Zenica-Doboj Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina are reviewed and discussed to the current situation of campylobacterioses infections in Slovenia and wider Sothern-European geographical region.
