Case report of an unclassified microaerophilic bacterium associated with gastroenteritis

S Romero et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1988 Jan.

Abstract

An unusual microaerophilic gram-negative bacterium was isolated from the stools of two individuals presenting with chronic diarrhea. This bacterium resembled Campylobacter species by colonial morphology and biochemical reactions. However, microscopic examination revealed a fusiform rod with a corrugated surface, rather than a spiral rod. This is the first reported isolation of this bacterium from humans.
