摘要：

Campylobacter fetus subsp.fetus is a gram-negative, slender, spirally curved bacterial pathogen. It has been isolated from human blood, spinal fluid, and abscesses, but cellulitis associated with bacteremia is rare. We report its isolation from a blood culture of a human patient with cellullitis as well as difficulties encountered in determining the identity of the subspecies of C fetus.
