Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, and a Campylobacter-like organism were isolated from a number of natural water sources in central Washington, including ponds, lakes, and small mountain streams at elevations ranging from 1,460 to 5,400 feet (ca. 445 to 1,646 m) above sea level. At the two sites where extensive sampling was done, the bacteria were recovered throughout the year. Generally, the recovery rates were highest in the fall and winter months and lowest during the spring and summer months. Campylobacter density did not show significant correlation with microbiological (plate counts of fecal and total coliforms, fecal streptococci, and heterotrophic bacteria) or physical (water temperature, pH, and conductivity) parameters.
空肠弯曲菌、结肠弯曲菌和一种弯曲菌样微生物从华盛顿州中部的一些天然水源中分离出来，这些水源包括海拔1460至5400英尺（约445至1646米）的池塘、湖泊和山间小溪。在进行广泛采样的两个地点，全年都能检测到这些细菌。一般来说，秋季和冬季的检出率最高，而春季和夏季的检出率最低。弯曲菌密度与微生物学（粪便和总大肠菌群、粪链球菌和异养细菌的平板计数）或物理（水温、pH值和电导率）参数之间没有显著相关性。
