AB Campylobacter  species  are  among  the  most  common  pathogens  in  humans  and  are  commensal  in  birds,  swine,  and  cattle.  The  incidence  and  prevalence  of  campylobacteriosis  have  increased  in  both  developed  and  developing  countries  over  the  last  10  years,  causing  an  estimated  92  to  300  million  illnesses  annually.  Although  diarrhea  is  the  most  frequent  clinical  manifestation,  a  broad  clinical  spectrum  is  associated  with  this  infection,  from  asymptomatic  carriage  to  systemic  illness.  Guillain-Barré  syndrome  (GBS),  reactive  arthritis,  irritable  bowel  syndrome,  and  inflammatory  bowel  disease  have  been  reported  as  postinfectious  complications  of  or  associations  with  campylobacteriosis.
