Bacteraemia due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus in a liver transplanted patient

A case of mitral endocarditis due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus.

This report describes a patient presenting mitral native endocarditis due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus, which was revealed by syncope and identified using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. This gene sequencing method has become the preferred approach to identifying the new emerging pathogens when discrepancies exist between phenotypical tests.

Isolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus from a patient with cellulitis.

Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus is a gram-negative, slender, spirally curved bacterial pathogen. It has been isolated from human blood, spinal fluid, and abscesses, but cellulitis associated with bacteremia is rare. We report its isolation from a blood culture of a human patient with cellulitis as well as difficulties encountered in determining the identity of the subspecies of C. fetus.

Alpure growth of C. fetus subspecies fetus identified by use of APIthough the most common clinical manifestation is cryptogenic Campy (bioMérieux, Cedex, France; API code no. 2400714) and bacteremia, sites of localized infections have been described [1, PCR assay (Centers for Di...

Susceptibility of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni to twenty antimicrobiol agents.

One hundred recent clinical isolates of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were tested by an agar dilution technique for susceptibility to each of 20 antimicrobial agents. Doxycycline and gentamicin were the most active of the drugs examined, inhibiting all strains at concentrations achievable in serum. Although the median minimal inhibitory concentration of erythromycin was low, 8% of the isola...
