Fecal samples submitted to our clinical microbiology laboratory from patients in the Philadelphia region were prospectively analyzed forCampylobacter species other thanC. jejuni andC. coli using a filtration method and microaerobic conditions with increased H2 concentrations. Of 225 samples tested, 13 (5.8%) yieldedCampylobacter species, with frequent isolation ofC. concisus . The majority ofCampylobacter species were not clinically significant. Additional studies in U.S. populations are warranted.
