Campylobacter fetus

Molecular classification: Bacterium, Gram-negative bacteria

Overview

Campylobacter fetus is a Gram-negative, motile, spiral-shaped bacterium that primarily resides in cattle and sheep. It is a cause of abortions in animals and can cause systemic infections in humans, particularly bacteremia, endovascular infections, and meningitis. Transmission to humans typically occurs through consumption of contaminated raw milk or meat products. Treatment involves antibiotics like gentamicin, ampicillin, or carbapenems.

Other names: C. fetus
