The family Campylobacteraceae currently includes 24 species within the genus Campylobacter and 18 species in the genus Arcobacter. Campylobacter and Arcobacter species have somewhat unique growth and phenotypic characteristics, including microaerobic growth requirements, making this group of organisms challenging to isolate under laboratory conditions. Within the genus Campylobacter, C. jejuni subsp. jejuni remains the most common species isolated from human infections. Arcobacter butzleri appears to be the most common Arcobacter species causing human infection. Except for a few common species, molecular methods are now the preferred techniques for identifying Campylobacter and Arcobacter species.
