The main objectives of this study were to investigate the diversity of Campylobacter genotypes circulating in Senegal and to determine the frequency of antibiotic resistance. Strains of C. jejuni isolated from poultry (n=99) and from patients (n=10) and C. coli isolated from poultry (n=72) were subtyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The pulsotypes obtained revealed a significant genetic diversity in both species, but without any predominant pulsotypes. However, farm-specific clones were identified in the majority of poultry houses (76.5%). Human and poultry isolates of C. jejuni had common PFGE patterns. High quinolone-resistance rates were observed for C. jejuni (43.4%) and C. coli (48.6%) isolates obtained from poultry.
