Description

The name Campylobacter comes from the shape of the bacteria resembling the letter S. These bacteria have the ability to move. Campylobacter spp. generally appear as curved or comma-shaped rods, and are able to move via unipolar or bipolar flagella. They grow best between 37-42°C in a microaerophilic environment. When exposed to atmospheric oxygen, C. jejuni is able to change into a coccus form. Most species of Campylobacter are positive by the oxidase test and catalase test and are able to reduce nitrate. The number of known quinolone-resistant Campylobacter strains is growing. It is suggested that this is caused by the overuse of quinolone antibiotics in animal agriculture.
