The incidence,epidemic characteristics, clinical features and resistance of Campylobacter were reviewed for stressing the importance of Campylobacter in intestinal and other infections. The incidence of campylobacteriosis is increasing sharply throughout the world. Poultry, water, milk, animal are major sources of Campylobacter infection. C.jejuni and C.coli are two main species isolated from most studies. Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is the most serious complication of Campylobacter infection. The resistance of Campylobacter to antibiotics is increasing, the most alarming increase is resistance to the fluoroquinolone group of antimicrobials. It's necessary to establish surveillance system in order to control the infection and prevalance of Campylobacter (especially in developing countries).
