Campylobacter genus encompasses many species, among which C. jejuni, C. coli and C. fetus are the main human pathogens. C. jejuni/coli frequently cause self-limited enteritis in immunocompetent hosts and are seldomly associated with bacteriemia. C. fetus is less common as a human pathogen. It is rarely identified in fecal samples but can sometimes be isolated in blood samples from patients with comorbidities or immunosuppression. Campylobacter fetus bacteriemia is remarkable since it is associated with endovascular and deep-seated infections.
