Species code:	CAMJR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Epsilonproteobacteria; Campylobacterales; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacter (TaxID: 195099) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Gram-negative, microaerophilic, flagellate, spiral bacterium, Campylobacter species are the leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis in developed countries. Infection with C. jejuni is the most frequent antecedent to a form of neuromuscular paralysis known as Guillain-Barre syndrome. C.jejuni can be carried by healthy cattle and birds. A high percentage of sold chickens are contaminated. C.jejuni strain RM1221 was isolated from a chicken carcass. Unique features not present in strain NCTC 11168 have been identified, including the colonization of chicken skin and ceca, invasion of Caco-2 cells and unique LOS and capsule loci.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
