ABSTRACT

Campylobacter is a fastidious agent,because it is microaerophilic, has a slow growth rate, and its culture requires selective culture media. For these reasons, the first strains of this agent from humans were isolated from the blood of patients with sepsis, and the agent was classified in the genus Vibrio as V. Fetus or "related Vibrio".
