Campylobacter[‚kam·pə·lə′bak·tər] (microbiology) A genus of bacteria in the family Spirillaceae; spirally curved rods that are motile by means of a polar flagellum at one or both poles. Campylobacter
Campylobacter [kam´pĭ-lo-bak″ter] a genus of gram-negative, microaerophilic to anaerobic, motile, curved or spiral rod-shaped bacteria, found in the oral cavity, intestinal tract, and reproductive organs of humans and animals. Certain subspecies of C. fe´tus are agents of acute gastroenteritis and can cause systemic infection in immunocompromised persons. C. pylo´ri is now known as Helicobacter pylori.Campylobacter (kam'pi-lō-bak'ter), A genus of bacteria containing gram-negative, nonsporeforming, spiral or S-curved rods with a single flagellum at one or both ends of the cell; cells may also become spheric under adverse conditions; they are motile with a corkscrewlike motion and nonsaccharolytic. The type species is Campylobacter fetus. [G. campylos, curved, + baktron, staff or rod] Campylobacter A genus of gently-curved gram-negative rods that are common zoonotic commensals found in the GI tracts of wild and domesticated animals, and cause 3 types of human disease: enteric–eg, diarrhea, typically by C jejuni, extraintestinal, most often by C fetus, and gastric, due to C pylori, re-classified as Helicobacter pylori; human infections are attributed to contaminated water or food. See Helicobacter pylori.

[G. campylos, curved, + baktron, staff or rod]Cam·py·lo·bac·ter (kam'pi-lō-bak'tĕr) A genus of bacteria containing gram-negative, nonspore-forming, spiral or S-curved rods.
