Abstract: Fecal samples submitted to our clinical microbiology laboratory from patients in the Philadelphia region were prospectively analyzed for Campylobacter species other than C. jejuni and C. coli using a filtration method and microaerobic conditions with increased H <subscript>2</subscript> concentrations. Of 225 samples tested, 13 (5.8%) yielded Campylobacter species, with frequent isolation of C. concisus The majority of Campylobacter species were not clinically significant. Additional studies in U.S. populations are warranted.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 American Society for Microbiology.)
