Abstract
|
|
|
Campylobacter jejuni commonly causes bacterial enteritis but rarely causes extraintestinal infection including bacteremia. We isolated C. jejuni from the blood culture of a 20-year-old man presenting with fever and headache and also from the blood cultureof a 23-year-old man suffering abdominal pain and diarrhea. This organism grew in anaerobic culture,showed curved Gram-negative bacilli by Gram stain,and was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorptionionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS).
