弯曲杆菌属(Campylobacter)是一类主要寄生于哺乳动物和禽类肠道的革兰阴性杆菌。对人类致病的主要是空肠弯曲菌(Campylobacterjejuni)和大肠弯曲菌(Campylobactercoli)，但以前者更为多见。
过去20年里，有大量大肠杆菌、沙门氏菌和弯曲杆菌感染事件和饮用未经巴氏灭菌的乳品有直接联系。
There have been numerous documented outbreaks of E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter infections directly linked to the consumption of unpasteurized milk in the past 20 years.
在上个月，至少有30人其中包括两名儿童，在检测弯曲杆菌和大肠杆菌时呈现阳性，经查是来自于新鲜的（未经灭菌的）羊乳。
Last month, at least 30 people, including two children, tested positive for strains of campylobacter and Escherichia coli bacteria traced to raw (nonpasteurized) goat milk.
目前，归为弯曲杆菌属的细菌有17个菌种和6个亚种，其中在人类疾病中最经常报告发生的为空肠弯曲菌（空肠亚种）和大肠弯曲菌。
Currently, there are 17 species and 6 subspecies assigned to the genus Campylobacter, of which the most frequently reported in human diseases are C. jejuni (subspecies jejuni) and C. coli.
