sp. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov., three novel -like species recovered from swine, small ruminants, and camelids.

In a previous study characterizing strains deficient in selenium metabolism, 50 strains were found to be similar to, but distinct from, the selenonegative species . Initial characterization based on multilocus sequence typing and the phylogeny of a set of 20 core genes determined that these strains form three putative taxa within the selenonegative cluster. A polyphasic study was undertaken here to further clarify their taxonomic position within the genus.

Identifying the sources of human campylobacteriosis in Nigeria.

Campylobacter spp. have been shown to be the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Cases of human campylobacteriosis are usually reported as sporadic and not part of an outbreak which makes the identification of the source of infection difficult.

Genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter spp. from humans and livestock in Nigeria.

Background: Campylobacter spp. are zoonotic pathogens, ubiquitous and are found naturally as commensals in livestock from where they can be transmitted to humans directly or through animal products. The genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance profile of Campylobacter was investigated with a focus on C.

Nationwide Stepwise Emergence and Evolution of Multidrug-Resistant Campylobacter jejuni Sequence Type 5136, United Kingdom.

We examined whole-genome-sequenced Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli from 2012-2015 isolated from birds and human stool samples in North East Scotland for the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes. We found that sequence type (ST) 5136 (clonal complex 464) was the most prevalent multidrug-resistant strain of C.

Comparative genomic analysis of novel Acinetobacter symbionts: A combined systems biology and genomics approach.

The increasing trend of antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter drastically limits the range of therapeutic agents required to treat multidrug resistant (MDR) infections. This study focused on analysis of novel Acinetobacter strains using a genomics and systems biology approach. Here we used a network theory method for pathogenic and non-pathogenic Acinetobacter spp.
