Part Descriptions

LP19880-1   Campylobacter fetus
Campylobacter fetus is a species of Gram-negative, motile bacteria with a characteristic S -shaped rod morphology similar to members of the genus Vibrio. Like other members of the Campylobacter genus, C. fetus is oxidase -positive. Pathogenesis:In addition to causing some cases of abortion in cattle and sheep, C. fetus is an opportunistic human pathogen and can cause bacteremia and thrombophlebitis. Though rare, C. fetus can lead to fatal septicemia in newborns and immunocompromised individuals. Bacteremia can lead to localized infections of the meninges in the brain, the respiratory pleural spaces or lungs, joints , the pericardial sac around the heart, or the peritoneum.

LP99310-2   Campylobacter
Campylobacter species is a gram-negative comma or S-shaped motile bacteria. Most infections occur from eating raw or undercooked poultry or by touching a contaminated object. Other sources of Campylobacter include water, animals, and unpasteurized milk. Symptoms begin 2-5 days after being exposed and include bloody diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Some people are asymptomatic. Campylobacter can spread to the bloodstream and cause life-threatening illness in immunocompromised patients. C jejuni is the primary species found in campylobacter infections. Campylobacter is identified in stool, body tissue, and fluid cultures.[https://www.cdc.gov/campylobacter/faq.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
