The present investigation sought to assess the occurrence and antibiotic resistance of &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter&lt;\/i&gt; species recovered from cattle and sheep meat sold in markets in Wasit, Iraq. \n&lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;\/b&gt; Using conventional microbiological methods, 113 samples were collected from nearby marketplaces and tested to assess the occurrence of &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter&lt;\/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter&lt;\/i&gt; species were confirmed using multiplex polymerase chain reaction. To determine the susceptibility to certain antimicrobial agents, a disk diffusion assay was carried out, and eight different antimicrobial drugs were tested. \n&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;\/b&gt; The findings revealed that &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter&lt;\/i&gt;\u2019s isolation rate was 10.62%, with 10.77% and 10.42% in cattle and sheep meat samples, respectively. Additionally, 75% of the bacterial isolates were identified as &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter jejuni&lt;\/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;C. jejuni&lt;\/i&gt;), while 25% were confirmed as &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter coli&lt;\/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;C. coli&lt;\/i&gt;). One hundred percent of bacterial isolates exhibited resistance to oxacillin, erythromycin, nalidixic acid, and cloxacillin. Moreover, an abundance of multidrug-resistant &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter&lt;\/i&gt; species was identified, with eight antibiotypes classified into four categories. Likewise, the bacterial isolates\\' multiple antibiotic resistance index ranged from 0.5 to 0.88. \n&lt;b&gt;Conclusion: &lt;\/b&gt;According to the current study, cattle and sheep meat pose a potential threat to public health. Therefore, minimizing &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter&lt;\/i&gt; infection and ensuring the safe use of antibiotics requires strict monitoring, regulatory measures, and suitable treatments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5455\/javar.2025.l940","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,6]],"date-time":"2025-11-06T17:46:08Z","timestamp":1762451168000},"page":"774","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["&lt;i&gt;Campylobacter jejuni&lt;\/i&gt; versus &lt;i&gt;Campylobacter coli&lt;\/i&gt;: Occurrence and antimicrobial resistance in red meat sold in markets in Wasit, Iraq"],"prefix":"10.5455","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Manal","family":"Kanaan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Tarek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3407","container-title":["Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.bibliomed.org\/fulltextpdf.php?mno=218293","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]],"date-time":"2026-10-08T18:02:49Z","timestamp":1791482569000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.bibliomed.org\/?mno=218293"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5455\/javar.2025.l940","relation":{},"ISSN":["2311-7710"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2311-7710","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}}}
