It is best controlled through proper cooking and the prevention of cross-contamination. Food Commonly Associated with the bacteria: Poultry, Water contamination *Most common symptoms: Diarrhea (watery or bloody), Abdominal cramps, Fever, Headache *Most Important Prevention Measures TO REDUCE THE BACTERIA IN FOOD: Cook food, particularly poultry, to required minimum internal temperatures. TO PREVENT THE TRANSFER OF THE BACTERIA TO FOOD: Prevent cross-contamination between raw poultry and ready-to-eat food.
Campylobacteriosis (Campylobacter jejuni)
