[3] In the year 1886, Theodor Escherich established that spiral form bacteria were noted in the stool specimen and large intestinal mucus of neonates (an infant less than 4 weeks), and kittens.

[9] Campylobacter are microaerophilic, fastidious organisms that become stressed in aerobic condition, temperature variations, osmotic balances, and starvation [citation needed].

However, in the community of Campylobacter species, C. coli has been discovered to be more aerotolerant than C. jejuni; this explains the increasing survival and transmission of the strains during stressful processing and storage conditions (Karki et al., 2019).

[citation needed] Campylobacteriosis is characterized by symptoms including high fever, headache, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhoea, sometimes bloody.

While extra fluid is required of an infected person for as long as the symptoms lasts, antibiotics such as azithromycin or ciprofloxacin can be used to treat risk groups, including immunocompromised patients.
