Campylobacter spp.
What's
Campylobacter spp.
?
Campylobacter spp. is a group of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of animals, especially birds. These bacteria can sometimes make their way into our food, particularly in undercooked poultry, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated water. When humans consume these contaminated foods, they can develop an infection called campylobacteriosis. This infection often causes symptoms like diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever, usually lasting about a week. It's important to practice good food safety, such as thoroughly cooking poultry and washing hands, to prevent the spread of Campylobacter spp. and keep your digestive system healthy.
If Your Levels Are High
High levels of Campylobacter spp. in your system could indicate that you have been exposed to contaminated food or water, possibly from undercooked poultry, unpasteurized milk, or poor hygiene practices. This bacterial infection, called campylobacteriosis, occurs when the bacteria multiply in your intestines, leading to digestive issues. To prevent the spread of Campylobacter spp., it's essential to practice good food safety, such as thoroughly cooking poultry, washing hands, and avoiding cross-contamination in the kitchen.
Symptoms of High Levels
Symptoms of high levels of Campylobacter spp. include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
If Your Levels are Low
Low levels of Campylobacter spp. in your system could indicate that you have a healthy digestive system and are not currently experiencing an infection caused by these bacteria. This may be due to practicing good food safety habits, such as properly cooking poultry, avoiding unpasteurized milk, and ensuring clean water sources. Additionally, your immune system may be effectively preventing the growth of these bacteria in your body. It's important to continue following proper food handling and hygiene practices to maintain low levels of Campylobacter spp. and support your overall digestive health.
Symptoms of Low Levels
Symptoms of low levels of Campylobacter spp. may include a healthy digestive system, absence of infection, and overall well-being due to good food safety habits and a strong immune system.

The CSAP profile helps pinpoint the causes of gastrointestinal symptoms and chronic systemic conditions, and measures key markers of digestion, absorption and inflammation. It includes comprehensive bacteriology and yeast cultures, detection of infectious pathogens and parasites, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents. This is a 3-DAY SAMPLE COLLECTION.
