Campylobacter upsaliensis

Campylobacter upsaliensis is a Campylobacter species that can be found in the intestinal tract of dogs. Compared with some other Campylobacter species, it is especially associated with dogs and may sometimes be carried without obvious symptoms. Higher levels may be associated with digestive changes such as diarrhoea, soft stool, mucus in stool, abdominal discomfort, reduced appetite, or lethargy. Campylobacter upsaliensis can also have zoonotic relevance, meaning it may be important for hygiene around animals, people, and faecal contamination. Levels of Campylobacter upsaliensis can help show whether a Campylobacter species associated with dogs is present in the gut profile and how the finding fits together with digestive signs, hygiene factors, and the wider microbiome pattern.
