This species is motile using a single polar flagellum, oxidase positive, catalase positive, indole negative, reduces nitrates, and does not produce hydrogen sulfide. C. fetus is an opportunistic microbe that causes bacteremia, thrombophlebitis, septicemia, and is a suspected pathogen in immunocompromised patients with gastrointestinal symptoms. In sheep and cattle this bacterium is known to cause abortions, infertility, enteritis and bovine genital campylobacteriosis. (NCI Thesaurus)
