Identification and characterization of an invasive, hyper-aerotolerant <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> strain causing bacteremia in a pediatric leukemia patient
We identified a novel invasive bloodstream <i>C. jejuni</i> strain proven <i>in vitro</i> to be HAT, shedding light on key genomic features linking with its pathogenesis. Given its enhanced survival of HAT <i>C. jejuni</i> in ecosystem, a clinical microbiology lab should be vigilant with detecting them from blood cultures.
