More recently Campylobacter spp. have been recognised as a common aetiological agent in human diarrhoeas. In many reports chickens have been mentioned as a possible source of infection. The epidemiological factors leading to the infection of chicken with campylobacters have been rather presumptive and the effect of the mere presence of campylobacters in the digestive tract of chicken on poultry production is not well known. In this study, 30 fresh dropping specimens were randomly taken from diarrhoeic broilers and laying hens housed intensively in Bani-Mour and Arab El-Awamer poultry farms. Camplobacter je juni (15%) and Campylobacter coli (10%) were recovered from the faecal Swabs of 20 laying hens and 10 broilers respectively.
