Karlyshev, Andrey, Lehri, Burhan and Vieira, Ana (2015) Specific genetic features of 'Campylobacter jejuni' strain G1 revealed by genome sequencing. FEMS Microbiology Letters, 362(4), pp. 1-3. ISSN (print) 0378-1097

Abstract

This report describes a draft genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni strain G1. The strain contains no plasmids, despite being resistant to tetracycline (Tet). Comparison of the genome of this strain with that of a reference strain NCTC 11168 (Tet sensitive) revealed the presence of a candidate gene that may be responsible for antibiotic resistance, as well as the genes involved in the synthesis of ganglioside-mimicking molecules responsible for the development of a neurodegenerative disorder, Guillain-Barré syndrome.
