		Consumption of Campylobacter does not necessarily lead to infection, and many infections are asymptomatic. Symptomatic infections present with fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramping. The diarrhea can be profuse, and blood is commonly found in the stool by the second or third day, though gross bleeding is uncommon. On average, the diarrhea lasts 4-5 days.
		Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are normally sensitive to a wide variety of antibiotics including macrolides, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides and tetracyclines. They are intrinsically resistant to trimethoprim and most beta lactam antibiotics. Erythromycin and fluoroquinolones are the first choices for therapy, but since the disease is self-limited in adults, the value of therapy is limited.
		Campylobacter fetus is a major cause of abortions in sheep and cattle. Human infection is uncommon and is limited to patients with some sort of immune deficiency state (i.e., cancer, AIDS, etc.) or a serious chronic disease (i.e., liver disease, diabetes, etc). In these patients, Campylobacter fetus is able to causes systemic infection.
