Campylobacter is a type of bacteria that can cause a diarrheal disease in people. [1] Its name means "curved bacteria", as the germ typically appears in a comma or "s" shape. According to its scientific classification, it is a genus of gram-negative bacteria that is motile .
Campylobacter jejuni is a species of pathogenic bacteria that is commonly associated with poultry, and is also often found in animal feces. This species of microbe is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in Europe and in the US, with the vast majority of cases occurring as isolated events rather than mass outbreaks.
The disease is usually caused by C. jejuni, a spiral and comma-shaped bacterium normally found in cattle, swine, and birds, where it is nonpathogenic, but the illness can also be caused by C. coli (also found in cattle, swine, and birds), C. upsaliensis (found in cats and dogs) and C. lari (present in seabirds in particular).

Campylobacter coli is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, non-endospore-forming, S-shaped bacterial species within genus Campylobacter. [1] In humans, C. coli can cause campylobacteriosis, a diarrhoeal disease which is the most frequently reported foodborne illness in the European Union. [2] C. coli grows slowly with an optimum temperature of 42 ...
Helicobacter pylori, previously known as Campylobacter pylori, is a gram-negative, flagellated, helical bacterium. Mutants can have a rod or curved rod shape that exhibits less virulence . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Its helical body (from which the genus name Helicobacter derives) is thought to have evolved to penetrate the mucous lining of the stomach ...
He lists off a slew of germs that can make you seriously ill that can found in raw milk, including: Campylobacter. Cryptosporidium. E. coli. Listeria. Brucella. Salmonella
Campylobacter upsaliensis is a gram-negative bacteria in the Campylobacter genus. [2] C. upsaliensis is found worldwide, and is a common cause of campylobacteriosis in humans, as well as gastroenteritis in dogs and cats. [ 3 ]
Campylobacter hyointestinalis is a species of Campylobacter [1] implicated as a pathogen in gastroenteritis and diarrhoea in humans. [2] It has been known to be transmitted from its usual host, the pig, to humans. [ 3 ]
