Detection and isolation of Campylobacter species other than C. jejuni from children with Crohn's disease

J Clin Microbiol. 2009 Feb;47(2):453-5. doi: 10.1128/JCM.01949-08. Epub 2008 Dec 3.

Abstract

The presence of Campylobacter species other than Campylobacter jejuni and antibodies to Campylobacter concisus in children were investigated. A significantly greater presence of C. concisus and higher levels of antibodies to C. concisus were detected in children with Crohn's disease (CD) than in controls. Campylobacter species other than C. jejuni were isolated from intestinal biopsy specimens of children with CD.
