A stool culture incubated at 42 degrees Celsius under microaerophilic conditions grows curved gram negative rods with a gull-wing appearance. Which organism is most likely?
1Campylobacter jejuni✓ 정답
2Salmonella species
3Shigella species
4Yersinia enterocolitica
해설
The incubation temperature, the oxygen requirement, and the gull-wing morphology all point to Campylobacter. Because this organism requires conditions different from routine enteric media, a separate culture must be set up, and it can be missed if it is not specifically requested.
