Campylobacter jejuni is a major foodborne pathogen causing acute bacterial enteritis worldwide. Screening of novel bacteriophages as biocontrol tools to eliminate C. jejuni in food during pre- and postharvest is an emerging research field. In this study, we partially characterized C. jejuni bacterio...
