MICROBIOLOGY
- C. jejuni, spiral-shaped bacteria [Fig] well adapted to birds (carriage is asymptomatic).
- Microaerophilic, member of Campylobacteriacae
- Culture is usually performed using selective "CAMP" agar, with the temperature set at normal avian body temperature of 42°C rather than at 37°C.
- Microaerophilic conditions facilitate growth.
- Oxidase positive.
- Stool Gram stain, curved rods suggestive of diagnosis (sensitivity 50-75%)
- Typically only scanty growth is seen on aerobic plates.
