Campylobacter Species
- C. jejuni is the prototype organism and a common cause of diarrhea in humans.
Other Campylobacter Species
- C. fetus, C. coli, and C. Follow are less commonly isolated from humans.
Morphology and Identification
- Nitrate reduction test is used for further identification of Campylobacter species.
C. fetus
- May occasionally be recovered from blood cultures, usually from immunocompromised or elderly patients.
Diagnostic Laboratory Tests
- Blood is collected for determination of serum antibodies.
- Stool samples may be collected for H. pylori antigen detection.
- Tissue for culture is obtained by endoscopy and biopsy of the gastric mucosa.
