Background
Microbiology
- Non-spore-forming anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus
- Aflagellate
- Previously identified as Bacteroides corrodens
Epidemiology
- Acquired through fecal-oral route
- Thought to be a zoonosis, though not from poultry, possibly from cattle
Clinical Manifestations
- Acute gastroenteritis, similar to Campylobacter coli
- Also appears to be involved in perineal or genital infections, perianal abscesses, and other soft tissue infections, typically in polymicrobial cultures 1
Management
- Likely susceptible to metronidazole
- See 2 and 3
