Campylobacter species are one of the most common causes of bacterial diarrhea in humans worldwide (13, 25). Two Campylobacter species are usually associated with most of the infections in man: Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli (13, 25). Patients usually recover without antimicrobial therapy, but in some patients with prolonged illness, therapy may be indicated. In these circumstances erythromycin or fluoroquinolones are often recommended (3, 8, 17, 21). Campylobacter infections usually occur as sporadic cases following ingestion of improperly handled or cooked food. Campylobacteriosis is considered a zoonotic disease, and domestic animals such as poultry, pigs, and cattle may act as reservoirs for Campylobacter.
