Campylobacter jejuni, the leading cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis, requires low environmental oxygen and high carbon dioxide for optimum growth

Al-Haideri et al. support elevated carbon dioxide as a growth condition required by capnophilic Campylobacter jejuni.

Taken together, our data suggest CanB is a major contributor to the capnophilic growth phenotype of C. jejuni.

Al-Haideri et al. describe the elevated-CO2 requirement as a capnophilic growth phenotype and identify CanB as a major contributor in C. jejuni NCTC 11168.
