Campylobacter lari explained

Campylobacter lari (formerly Campylobacter laridis^[1]) is a species of nalidixic acid-resistant, thermophilic, microaerophilic bacteria first isolated from human faeces.^{[2] [3]} It shows anaerobic growth in the presence of trimethylamine N-oxide hydrochloride. Its type strain is NCTC 11352. It is commonly found in sea gulls. In humans, it has been involved in cases of enteritis,^[4] severe abdominal pain and terminal bacteremia.^{[5] [6]}
