On the Trail of Campylobacter - The Campylobacter is one of the leading causes of human gastroenteritis. Common Campylobacter species C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari are responsible for most cases of campylobacteriosis. However, other species, like C. fetus, which causes spontaneous abortions, have also been associated with human illness. Campylobacter are Gram-negative, spiral-shaped, microaerophilic and motile bacteria with uni- or bi-polar fl agella

Campylobacter spp. are regarded as the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide.

For microbiologists the most fundamental stain was developed in 1884 by the Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram.
