Campylobacter species
Campylobacter is a genus of gram negative bacilli, usually involved in diarrhoeal illnesses.
They are microaerophillic - ie they thrive under very low oxygen levels, but are not anaerobic - and they are curved rods.
Campylobacter pylori has been reclassified as Helicobacter pylori as it differs from Campylobacter in several different respects - for example, showing no or poor growth at 42øC.
