A case of acute diarrhea due to the emerging pathogen Campylobacter jejuni subsp. doylei in Southern Chile

Um caso de diarréia aguda devido ao patógeno emergente Campylobacter jejuni subsp. doylei no sul do Chile

The first documented case of acute diarrhea due to C. jejuni subsp. doylei in Chile is reported. The clinical findings, the absence of other enteropathogens, virus or parasites and the fact that C. jejuni subsp. doylei was the only bacteria isolated support the assumption that it was the etiological agent of this diarrheal case.

Campylobacter jejuni subsp. doylei; enteritis; emerging pathogen
