Abstract
experiments demonstrated that, compared with the other herbal compounds, tryptanthrin achieved antimicrobial activity against C. jejuni at the lowest concentration. The use of tryptanthrin may lead to the development of a novel control measure for reducing the colonization of C. jejuni in the food chain.
