Campylobacter hyointestinalis is a species of Campylobacter[1] implicated as a pathogen in gastroenteritis and diarrhoea in humans.[2] It has been known to be transmitted from its usual host, the pig, to humans.[3] In pigs, it is usually associated with proliferative ileitis, and found in conjunction with other species of that genus; however, it has also been isolated from hamster and cattle feces. It is catalase-positive, hydrogen sulfide-positive in the TSI slant, glycine-tolerant, and intolerant to 3.0% sodium chloride. It is able to grow at 25 °C, is sensitive to cephalothin, and resistant to nalidixic acid.[1]
