Campylobacter species: There are three major species of Campylobacter, Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, and Campylobacter lari that are involved in foodborne infection resulting in gastroenteritis. Consequently, infection may lead to the development of chronic debilitating paralytic Guillain Barré syndrome. Campylobacter jejuni is responsible for 95% of foodborne outbreaks and sporadic illnesses.

The majority of infections were caused by Campylobacter jejuni (82.4%) and Campylobacter coli (1.8%); the remainder by Campylobacter upsaliensis, Campylobacter lari, and Campylobacter fetus (<0.1%), and Campylobacter spp. (15.5%). The total number of hospitalised patients was 550 (21%).
