Insights on the genomic diversity, virulence and resistance profile of a Campylobacter jejuni strain isolated from a hospitalized patient in Brazil.

Campylobacteriosis is currently recognized as one of the major causes of foodborne bacterial diseases worldwide. In Brazil, there is insufficient data to estimate the impact of Campylobacter in public health. The aim of this present study was to characterize a C.

Antimicrobial resistance genotypes and phenotypes of Campylobacter coli isolated from different sources over a 16-year period in Brazil.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify antimicrobial resistance genotypes in 63 Campylobacter coli strains isolated from humans (12), animals (21), the environment (20), and food (10) in Brazil using whole genome sequencing (WGS) tools, comparing them with results obtained by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) against some important antimicrobials in clinical use.

Methods: Phenotypic resistance profiles were determined by minimal inhibitory concentrations and the disk diffusion technique. The prediction of the resistance genes was performed using ABRicate v.

Campylobacter coli isolated in Brazil typed by core genome Multilocus Sequence Typing shows high genomic diversity in a global context.

Unlabelled: Campylobacter has been one of the most common causative agent of bacterial food-borne gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. However, in Brazil the campylobacteriosis has been a neglected disease and there is insufficient data to estimate the incidence of this pathogen in the country.

Aims: The current study aimed to determine the phylogenetic relationships among Campylobacter coli strains isolated in Brazil and to compare them with international Campylobacter isolates available in some public databases.
