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.
