Campylobacter showaeRANK: SpeciesTAXONOMY: Proteobacteria -> delta/epsilon subdivisions -> Epsilonproteobacteria -> Campylobacterales -> Campylobacteraceae -> Campylobacter -> Campylobacter showae OVERVIEW: Campylobacter showae is a common member of the human oral microbiome. Grows best on media containing formate and fumarate. Will grow anaerobically in 80% N2, 10% CO2, 10% H2, or in a jar under microaerophilic conditions provided by a hydrogen and carbon dioxide generator such as GasPack.We find that C. showae is more common in our periodontal clone libraries than C. rectus. Prior to the recognition that the species C. showae is distinct from C. rectus in 1993 [1], isolates of either species would have been called C. rectus. Campylobacter showae is part of Socransky's Orange Complex of organisms which are associated with periodontal disease [2]. Identified as a constituent of the oral microbiome by Human Oral Microbiome Database. Identified as constituent of vaginal microbiome. [PMID:23282177] This species has been identified as a resident in the human gastrointestinal tract based on the phylogenetic framework of its small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences.[PMC 4262072]
