<p>Abstract</p> <p><it>Campylobacter jejuni</it> and <it>coli</it> are collectively regarded as the most prevalent cause of bacterial foodborne illness worldwide. An emerging species, <it>Campylobacter ureolyticus</it> has recently been detected in patients with gastroenteritis, however, the source of this organism has, until now, remained unclear. Herein, we describe the molecular-based detection of this pathogen in bovine faeces (1/20) and unpasteurized milk (6/47) but not in poultry (chicken wings and caeca). This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of the presence of this potential gastrointestinal pathogen in an animal source, possibly suggesting a route for its transmission to humans.</p>
