Description: | Gram-negative, microaerophilic, flagellate, spiral bacterium.
Causes gastroenteritis in humans. It is the leading cause of food-
borne gastroenteritis in developed countries. C.jejuni can be carried
by healthy cattle and birds. A high percentage of sold chickens are
contaminated.
Infection with C. jejuni is the most frequent antecedent to a form of neuromuscular paralysis known as Guillain-Barre syndrome. |
