Editing Campylobacter (section)

== Detection ==
Campylobacter testing needs to be done to manage the risk of foodborne ''Campylobacter'' and reducing the level of foodborne ''Campoboteriosis'', to protect people and to determine if a person is infected with ''Campylobacter.''{{citation needed|date=November 2023}}

=== In humans ===
Usually, detection of ''Campylobacter'' in humans is done by laboratory culturing a stool sample or swab of the rectum collected by a healthcare provider. Results take about 48–72 hours for preliminary results. Confirmation test and testing to determine the species of ''Campylobacter'' or drug sensitivities of the organism require additional time.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Buss |first=Janice E. |last2=Cresse |first2=Michelle |last3=Doyle |first3=Susan |last4=Buchan |first4=Blake W. |last5=Craft |first5=David W. |last6=Young |first6=Steve |date=2019 |title=''Campylobacter'' culture fails to correctly detect ''Campylobacter'' in 30% of positive patient stool specimens compared to non-cultural methods |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10096-019-03499-x |journal=European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases |language=en |volume=38 |issue=6 |pages=1087–1093 |doi=10.1007/s10096-019-03499-x |issn=1435-4373 |pmc=6520473 |pmid=30783889}}</ref>

=== In livestock ===
Usually, detection of Campylobacter in livestock is done by laboratory culturing a faecal sample. Results take about 48–72 hours.<ref name="Hong03">{{Cite journal |last=Hong |first=Yang |last2=Berrang |first2=Mark E. |last3=Liu |first3=Tongrui |last4=Hofacre |first4=Charles L. |last5=Sanchez |first5=Susan |last6=Wang |first6=Lihua |last7=Maurer |first7=John J. |date=2003 |title=Rapid Detection of Campylobacter coli , C. jejuni , and Salmonella enterica on Poultry Carcasses by Using PCR-Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay |url=https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/AEM.69.6.3492-3499.2003 |journal=Applied and Environmental Microbiology |language=en |volume=69 |issue=6 |pages=3492–3499 |bibcode=2003ApEnM..69.3492H |doi=10.1128/AEM.69.6.3492-3499.2003 |issn=0099-2240 |pmc=161512 |pmid=12788755}}</ref>

=== In meat ===
Usually, detection of Campylobacter in meat is done by laboratory culturing a homogenised sample. Results takes about 48–72 hours.<ref name="Hong03"/>
