what does jejuni mean
Campylobacter jejuni is a species of bacterium commonly found in animal feces. It is curved, helical-shaped, non-spore forming, Gram-negative, and microaerophilic. C. jejuni is one of the most common causes of human gastroenteritis in the world.Food poisoning caused by Campylobacter species can be severely debilitating, but is rarely life-threatening.he genome of C. jejuni strain NCTC11168 was published in 2000, revealing 1,641,481 base pairs (30.6% G+C) predicted to encode 1,654 proteins and 54 stable RNA species. The genome is unusual in that there are virtually no insertion sequences or phage-associated sequences and very few repeat sequences.
