Abstract
A campylobacter-like organism was isolated from an effusion of the lef t knee joint of an AIDS patient 2 weeks after bacteremia with a morpho logically identical organism. Amplified genomic 16S rRNA sequences wer e analyzed by a nonradioactive blotting technique. The closest match w as found with Helicobacter fenelliae (97.7% homology). Sequence data a nd phenotype suggest that the isolate mag represent a so far unrecogni zed species of the genus Helicobacter.
