Test ID: CAMPC
Campylobacter Culture, Feces
Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining whether Campylobacter species may be the cause of diarrhea
Reflexive testing for Campylobacter species from nucleic acid amplification test-positive feces
This test is generally not useful for patients hospitalized more than 3 days because the yield from specimens from these patients is very low, as is the likelihood of identifying a pathogen that has not been detected previously.
Highlights
This test provides evidence of the presence of the bacterium, Campylobacter species, in feces, in a viable state, and provides an isolate for antibacterial susceptibility testing and, if needed, submission to a health department.
Minnesota healthcare providers are required to report all confirmed or suspected cases of campylobacteriosis to the Minnesota Department of Health. Mayo Clinic Laboratories clients should refer to their local health departments regarding public health submission of Campylobacter isolates.
