Abstract

A polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis method was used to examine 50 stool samples from children in Belgium with gastroenteritis for an extensive range of Epsilonproteobacteria species. During the 3-month study period, Campylobacter concisus was the most common species. Our observations suggest that C. concisus displays similar microbiologic and clinical features as Campylobacter jejuni.
