Abstract
We describe a case of bacteraemia due to an atypical strain of Campylobacter fetus ssp. fetus. Conventional biochemical and phenotypic characterisation was unhelpful but whole cell protein profiles obtained by means of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) allowed us to identify this strain.
