Caption:
This photomicrograph depicts findings observed in a 48-hour culture of Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, revealing characteristic thin, comma-, S-, or gull-winged-shaped forms displayed by this bacterium. C. jejuni is a slender, curved, motile rod that is microaerophilic, meaning it has a reduced oxygen requirement. It is a relatively fragile organism, being sensitive to environmental stresses such as drying, heating, disinfectants, and acidic conditions.
