Campylobacter rectus is a species of Campylobacter. It is implicated as a pathogen in chronic periodontitis, which can induce bone loss. This motile bacillus is a Gram negative, facultative anaerobe. C. rectus is associated with hypertension together with Prevotella melaninogenica and Veillonella parvula.[1]
It was first described and characterized as Wolinella recta in 1981 after the bacterium was isolated from human patients with gingivitis, periodontitis, and periodontosis.[2] The species name was changed to Campylobacter rectus in 1991 after phylogenetic analyses grouped it closely with other members of rRNA Group I Campylobacter.[3]
