Campylobacteriosis is the leading food-borne illness and most frequently reported zoonosis in humans. Additional problem is the increasing antimicrobial resistance, which is a world-wide problem, including Campylobacter transmission via food chain. The reasons and mechanisms of resistance to different antimicrobials are different and one of the main research topics of the group of the author. Invited lecture on international conference was a review of the current state-of-the-art in the field and stressed also the main research achievements of the group.
