Campylobacter spp. are primarily zoonotic, with a variety of animals implicated as reservoirs for human infection. Campylobacteriosis is common in both devel- oped and nondeveloped countries. Definitive diagnosis requires isolation of bacterium in culture (i.e. "gold stan- dard"). Due to underdiagnosis and underreporting, actual incidence of infection in any country is substantially greater than reported incidence (1). |
