Abstract

It is as yet not known why Campylobacter causes disease in humans but is avirulent in birds. This study suggests that the human body temperature is optimum for growth and chemotaxis in Campylobacter. There is scope for the study of temperature regulation of other virulence determinants of Campylobacter.
