For this, samples collected from randomly selected five different zones of Chennai were screened for presence of Campylobacter jejuni by conventional culture method and further confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction. The results of prevalence study showed that 38. 67% (58/150) of the chicken carcasses examined were positive for Campylobacter jejuni. Chicken meat samples from Ambattur zone had highest percentage (63. 33%) of positive samples closely followed by Anna Nagar (56. 67%).
