Contribution of amino acid catabolism to the tissue specific persistence of Campylobacter jejuni in a murine colonization model.

Contribution of amino acid catabolism to the tissue specific persistence of Campylobacter jejuni in a murine colonization model.

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne disease in industrialized countries. Carbohydrate utilization by C. jejuni is severely restricted, and knowledge about which substrates fuel C. jejuni infection and growth is limited.
