''Campylobacter fetus'' is a species of Gram-negative, motile bacteria with a characteristic "''S''-shaped" rod morphology similar to members of the genus ''Vibrio'' . Like other members of the ''Campylobacter'' genus, ''C. fetus'' is oxidase-positive. ==Pathogenesis== In addition to causing some cases of abortion in cattle and sheep, ''C. fetus'' is an opportunistic human pathogen and can cause bacteremia and thrombophlebitis . Though rare, ''C. fetus'' can lead to fatal septicemia in newborns and immunocompromised individuals . ''C. fetus'', along with ''Campylobacter coli'', have been shown to cause septicemia. Bacteremia can lead to localized infections of the meninges in the brain, the respiratory pleural spaces or lungs, joints, the pericardial sac around the heart, or the peritoneum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Campylobacter fetus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
