Overview

  • Campylobacter faecalis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic, motile, bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Campylobacter faecalis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
