Identification and characterization of an invasive, hyper-aerotolerant Campylobacter jejuni strain causing bacteremia in a pediatric leukemia patient
26 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Background Campylobacter jejuni is a leading pathogen causing gastroenteritis in humans. Invasive C. jejuni strains crossing the gut-blood barrier can cause bacteremia. Despite its microaerophilicity (preferring <5% O 2 atmosphere), hyper-aerotolerant (HAT) C. jejuni has recently been isolated from intestines in poultry and humans. Elevated aerotolerance may enhance C. jejuni survival in the ecosystem,...
