Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of <i>Campylobacter</i> Species Isolated from Paediatric Stool and Water Samples in the Northwest Province, South Africa

Antibiotic-resistant <i>Campylobacter</i> could adversely affect treatment outcomes, especially in children. We investigated the antibiotic susceptibility profiles, virulence potentials and genetic relatedness of <i>Campylobacter</i> spp. from paediatric and water samples in...
