Campylobacter is one of the main potentials for causing diarrhea and gastroenteritis in human saityand. One of the main sources of these bacteria is meat. Method and material: 100 samples of broiler's meat which were slaughtered in slaughter halls all over Rafsanjan city were collected during the first 5 months of the year 1389. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter spp; Isolated from poultry meat slaughtered in Rafsanjan slaughter houses. During this study, 31 samples (31%) were discovered to be infected and after passing chemical analysis 19 samples (61.29%) were recognized to be Campylobacter jejuni and 12 samples (38.71%) were declared Campylobacter coli. Antibacterial sensitity tests revealed that these bacteria are most susceptible to Erythromycin and Ciprofloxacin but resistant to Gentamycin and Co-trimoxazole. This study showed a high contamination of broiler's meat to the campylobacter which is consumed as a food source. And as favas concerned about the zoonotic nature of this bacteria, it is expected to have a better attention over this matter.
