Campylobacter coli

Campylobacter is notoriously fastidious and has very specific growth conditions. The bacterium can survive for short periods outside the host environment but not to the same extent as Salmonella and E. coli (Alter and Scherer, 2006 Garenaux et al., 2008 Mihaljevic et al., 2007). However, despite such fragility, C. jejuni, and to a lesser extent Campylobacter coli, has been the main cause of gastroenteritis for several years 0anssen et al., 2008). This is likely due to the low infectious dose (<500 cells) required to cause symptoms in susceptible hosts and the high carriage rate in livestock (Ozcakir, 2007).

A small excess of undissociated formic acid has a stronger bactericidal effect on the culturability of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in comparison with a large excess of undissociated propionic or acetic acid at the same pH levels. It may be possible that the structure of these acids is the most important factor in the inhibition activity of C. jejuni and C. coli viability (Chaveerach et al., 2002).
