	Campylobacter jejuni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Campylobacter jejuni is a species of curved, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in animal faeces.
		It is commonly associated with chickens and has been found in wombat and kangaroo faeces, being a cause of bushwalkers' diarrhoea.
		In the laboratory, Campylobacter is grown on specially selective agar plates at 42°C, the normal avian body temperature, rather than 37°C, the temperature at which other bacteria are often grown.

		Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative slender, curved, and motile rod.
		jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial diarrhea in the U.S. There are probably numbers of cases in excess of the estimated cases of salmonellosis (2- to 4,000,000/year).
		jejuni from food is difficult because the bacteria are usually present in very low numbers (unlike the case of diarrheal stools in which 10/6 bacteria/gram is not unusual).

		Campylobacters enter the human food chain at slaughter of the animals and this is believed to be the main source of infection for man. The illness in man involves diarrhoea, sometimes with a bloody stool, which may last from 2-10 days.
		Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli must be anticipated as transient contaminants on all kitchen surfaces and food processing equipment used for raw food materials, especially raw poultry.
		Campylobacters appear to die rapidly on dry foods; this is in contrast to the prolonged survival of salmonellae in dried materials.

		Campylobacter was first implicated as the causative agent of abortion in ewes about 80 years ago, but it was not until 1940 when the first confirmed outbreak of human illness due to consumption of unpasteurized milk was linked to Campylobacter.
		Campylobacter infection, (also called campylobacteriosis) in humans, is due to direct contact with infected animals or carcasses or through the ingestion of contaminated, uncooked animal foods or unchlorinated water.
		A survey conducted in 1984 in Seattle, Washington, indicated that 50% of the poultry from the processing plant was contaminated by C. jejuni; fecal matter from animals contaminated the environment, continuing the cycle of infection.
