Overview

  • Campylobacter lanienae is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 36%. Campylobacter lanienae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Logan2000; VanDamme2005Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (VanDamme2005Bergey). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). Could be a possible pathogen in humans, but unknown at this stage. A possible gut commensal.
