Background: Infection by thermophilic Campylobacter species is a leading cause of human gastroenteritis. Of the various species of Campylobacter, C. jejuni, C. coli and C. lari, are the species most often associated with human illness. Campylobacter are often passed to humans through the handling or consumption of contaminated food, particularly foods of animal origin. Recently, human infection with Campylobacter has been implicated in the induction of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and reactive arthritis. GBS is a debilitating and potentially fatal neurological disease that produces paralysis. Campylobacter species are gram negative, motile curved or spiral rods that require highly specialized growth conditions. Typical cultivation entails pre-enrichment and enrichment steps in broth, followed by isolation on a selective solid medium. Of particular importance in the cultivation of Campylobacter is the requirement for a microaerobic atmosphere.
