Campylobacter is the most commonly reported cause of bacterial infectious intestinal disease (IID) in the UK. A wide range of risk factors for infection have been identified however a proportion of infections appear to be unexplained by recognised exposures. This suggests that numerous risk factors may be involved and/or that they may be due to as yet unidentified risk factors. The aim of this study was to determine the relative proportional contribution if different risk factors, both food and non-food related, to the burden of UK-acquired sporadic Campylobacter jejuni IID.
