Summary:Highlights • A case of bacteremia caused by Campylobacter-like organism 3 (CLO-3) is reported. • CLO-3 has been reported previously, without the formal definition of a species. • CLO-3 is known to cause enterocolitis. • The isolate was identified as CLO-3 by analysis of the 16S rRNA and hsp60 genes. • CLO-3 may represent another emerging cause of Helicobacter-induced bacteremia.
