Article Synopsis
- Used multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to analyze genetic diversity of Campylobacter coli from chickens in Senegal and to investigate genetic exchange with Campylobacter jejuni.
- MLST findings indicated low genetic diversity among C. coli isolates and confirmed the occurrence of allele exchange with C. jejuni.
- Twenty percent of ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates showed no mutations in the QRDR of GyrA, and no correlation was found between quinolone resistance and sequence type (ST).
In this study, topoisomerase mutations in ciprofloxacin-resistant and -susceptible Campylobacter jejuni were analysed by DNA sequencing. In certain ciprofloxacin-resistant C. jejuni, the mechanism of resistance was complex.

There were a total of 16 ST genotypes, and the majority of them belonged to seven clonal complexes previously identified by using isolates from human disease. The ST-353 complex was the most common complex, whereas the ST-21, ST-42, ST-52, and ST-257 complexes were less well represented.
