title: Bacteraemia with Campylobacter jejuni: no association with the virulence genes iam, cdtB, capA or virB.
abstract: The role of bacterial genes in the determination of the clinical spectrum of Campylobacter jejuni infection is unclear. We compared clinical isolates from invasive blood-stream infection with stool isolates from gastroenteritis and found no association of the putative virulence genes iam, capA, virB and cdtB with clinical presentation.
