Abstract
Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus is an uncommon cause of neonatal sepsis. Perinatal infection is severe, often resulting in spontaneous abortion, prematurity, septic shock, pneumonia, meningitis and postnatal death.

We present a case of C. fetus subsp fetus bacteremia in a premature newborn of a substance-abusing mother with chorioamnionitis. Specific identification and antimicrobial susceptibilities resulted in successful treatment of the patient.
