J Clin Microbiol. 2012 Nov;50(11):3792-4. doi: 10.1128/JCM.01807-12. Epub 2012 Aug 22.

Abstract

Campylobacter upsaliensis is a zoonotic, emerging pathogen that is not readily recovered in traditional stool culture. This case represents the first report of persistent bloody diarrhea with C. upsaliensis that was confirmed by filtration culture, PCR, and sequencing.
