Septicaemia Caused by Unusual Campylobacter Species (C. laridis and C. mucosalis)

Two cases of campylobacter septicaemia are described. The first, caused by Campylobacter laridis was associated with gastroenteritis and occurred in a healthy individual. In the second case, a catalase negative species, C. mucosalis was isolated from blood in an immunocompromised patient with sympto...

Zusammenfassung:Two cases of campylobacter septicaemia are described. The first, caused by Campylobacter laridis was associated with gastroenteritis and occurred in a healthy individual. In the second case, a catalase negative species, C. mucosalis was isolated from blood in an immunocompromised patient with symptoms of pneumonia. Both campylobacter strains grew faintly under the routine culture conditions used. Improved diagnostic procedures for Campylobacter species may thus be warranted.
