Campylobacter upsaliensis is a gram negative bacteria in the Campylobacter genus.[2] C. upsaliensis is found worldwide, and is a common cause of campylobacteriosis in humans, as well as gastroenteritis in dogs.[3] Human infections are primarily associated with raw or undercooked meat and contaminated water sources, however there is some zoonotic risk associated with the spread from dogs.[4] C. upsaliensis primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract as it damages gastrointestinal epithelial cells.[5] There are many methods for detecting C.upsaliensis including PCR and ELISA, however there is no current gold standard in detection techniques.[4] Infection is typically self limiting, however there is antimicrobial therapy available.[6]
