A decade of Campylobacter and Campylobacter bacteraemias in a district general hospital and the surrounding London and South East region, England

Campylobacter bacteraemia is a rare complication of the most common bacterial gastrointestinal infection but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There is limited data describing current trends in surveillance and antimicrobial resistance for the Campylobacter strains involved. At the Epsom and St Helier ’s University Hospital (ESTH), we noted a marked increase in Campylobacter bacteraemia infections in 2021.
