Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is an integral component of the  Campylobacter  cell membrane with a structure of core oligosaccharides forming inner and outer core regions and a lipid A moiety. The gene content of the LOS core biosynthesis cluster exhibits extensive sequence variation, which leads to the production of variable cell surface LOS structures in  Campylobacter . Some LOS outer core molecules in  Campylobacter jejuni  are molecular mimics of host structures (such as neuronal gangliosides) and are thought to trigger neuronal disorders (particularly Guillain–Barré syndrome and Miller Fisher syndrome) in humans. The extensive genetic variation in the LOS biosynthesis gene cluster, a majority of which occurs in the LOS outer core biosynthesis gene content present between  lgtF  and  waaV , has led to the development of a classification system with 23 classes (A–W) and four groups (1–4) for the  C. jejuni  LOS region. This review presents an updated and simplified classification system for LOS typing alongside an overview of the frequency of  C. jejuni  LOS biosynthesis genotypes and structures in various  C. jejuni  populations.
