[edit] "campy virulence"...?!?
Is there a problem in the paragraph below that needs fixing? Seems a strange term to me...!
"Campylobacters contain two flagellin genes in tandem for motility, flaA and flaB. These genes undergo intergenic recombination, further contributing to the campy virulence. Non-motile mutants do not colonize."

- That was a little strange....all fixed now. -- MarcoTolo 01:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Human to Human transmission is not common at at all, it is probably the least likely route of all. It is primarily a food borne or water borne illness.

[edit] General Readership?
Wouldn't it be better to start this article out with a description of what it is, where you get it, what it's like to have it, and how you get rid of it, in layman's terms? Wikipedia isn't a microbiology textbook. I can't make heads or tails of this article, and I've HAD it. This article is completely irrelevant to 99.99% of the population who might encounter it. 216.231.46.147 (talk) 01:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
