Taxonomy
Names	Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 81-176
Accession numbers	NC_008770, NC_008787, NC_008790
Background	Gram-negative, microaerophilic, flagellate, spiral bacterium, Campylobacter species are the leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis in developed countries. Infection with C. jejuni is the most frequent antecedent to a form of neuromuscular paralysis known as Guillain-Barre syndrome. C.jejuni can be carried by healthy cattle and birds. A high percentage of sold chickens are contaminated. (HAMAP: CAMJE)
