Campylobacter curvus 525.92

Like C. concisus, this Campylobacter species has been historically associated with periodontal disease, but has been recently isolated from human patients with gastroenteritis. This strain was isolated in South Africa from the feces of a patient with diarrhea. It will be very interesting to compare the genomic sequence of this strain to the genome of C. concisus. Genes or pathways shared between C. curvus and C. concisus might reveal mechanisms for causing gastroenteritis or periodontal disease. As with C. concisus, we might be able to explain common mechanisms for their emergence as human gastrointestinal infectious agents.
