Attempts to isolate Campylobacter jejuni from various body sites

Abstract

Clinical material collected from various body sites, but excluding faeces, was cultured on either selective or non-selective media for Campylobacter spp. Campylobacter jejuni was found in only two (0.18%) of 1100 specimens; both positive specimens were urine. From these results it is suggested that C jejuni is an uncommon finding in clinical material other than faeces.
