| description | Poultry and poultry meat are considered the most important sources of human campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis. However, data about the occurrence of <i>Campylobacter</i> and <i>Salmonella</i> concomitantly with intestinal protozoa such as <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. in poultry remain very scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the presence and possible interactions between these three microorganisms in fecal samples from 214 chickens collected either on farms or from live bird markets in Egypt. The results obtained showed that <i>Campylobacter</i> spp., <i>Salmonella</i> spp., and <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. were present in 91.6% (196/214), 44.4% (95/214), and 18.2% (39/214) of tested samples, respectively, highlighting an active circulation of these microorganisms. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was reported between the occurrence of <i>Campylobacter</i> spp. and <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. together with a significant negative correlation between <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. and <i>Salmonella</i> spp. This study confirms the association reported previously between <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. and <i>Campylobacter</i> spp. while disclosing an association between <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. and <i>Salmonella</i> spp.; it also highlights the need to improve studies on the interactions between bacteria and eukaryotes in the gut microbiota of poultry. |
