Research – Assessment of surveillance of Campylobacter infections in France in 2022.

Key points

In 2022, surveillance of Campylobacter infections in France confirmed the epidemiological and biological trends already observed in recent years:

a predominance of the species C. jejuni ;
higher number of cases and incidence in children;
a predominance of infections among men;
a seasonal peak during the summer period except for C. fetus ;
high resistance to fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines, which has remained stable in recent years;
an absence of significant increase in the resistance rates of the six antibiotics routinely tested.
