ABSTRACT: The draft genome sequences of 16 Campylobacter jejuni isolates obtained from wild birds are presented in this study. These genomes provide insights into the genetic features of C. jejuni isolates from wild birds, which are considered common hosts of this microorganism but have scarcely been investigated to date.

Draft Whole-Genome Sequences of Three Isolates of a Novel Strain of a Campylobacter sp. Isolated from New Zealand Birds and Water.

Project description:Campylobacter spp. are frequently found associated with the avian intestinal tract. Most are commensals, but some can cause human campylobacteriosis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three strains of a novel Campylobacter sp. isolated from urban birds and a rural river in New Zealand.

Draft Genome Sequences of Campylobacter jejuni Strains Isolated from Poultry.

Project description:Four wild-type Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from the cecal contents of broiler chickens were sequenced. The average genome size was 1,622,170 bp, with 1,667 to 1,761 coding sequences and 47 to 51 RNAs. Multiple genes encoding motility, intestinal colonization, toxin production, stress tolerance, and multidrug resistance were present in all the strains.

Marked host specificity and lack of phylogeographic population structure of Campylobacter jejuni in wild birds.

Project description:Zoonotic pathogens often infect several animal species, and gene flow among populations infecting different host species may affect the biological traits of the pathogen including host specificity, transmissibility and virulence. The bacterium Campylobacter jejuni is a widespread zoonotic multihost pathogen, which frequently causes gastroenteritis in humans. Poultry products are important transmission vehicles to humans, but the bacterium is common in other domestic and wild animals, particularly birds, which are a potential infection source. Population genetic studies of C. jejuni have mainly investigated isolates from humans and domestic animals, so to assess C. jejuni population structure more broadly and investigate host adaptation, 928 wild bird isolates from Europe and Australia were genotyped by multilocus sequencing and compared to the genotypes recovered from 1366 domestic animal and human isolates. Campylobacter jejuni populations from different wild bird species were distinct from each other and from those from domestic animals and humans, and the host species of wild bird was the major determinant of C. jejuni genotype, while geographic origin was of little importance. By comparison, C. jejuni differentiation was restricted between more phylogenetically diverse farm animals, indicating that domesticated animals may represent a novel niche for C. jejuni and thereby driving the evolution of those bacteria as they exploit this niche. Human disease is dominated by isolates from this novel domesticated animal niche.

In vitro activity of fosfomycin against Campylobacter isolates from poultry and wild birds.

Project description:Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with the activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis. Given the potential therapeutic efficacy of fosfomycin against Campylobacter spp., the aim of the present study was to determine the in vitro fosfomycin susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates from avian sources including poultry and wild birds. A total of eight (1.8%) strains of Campylobacter including five C. jejuni strains isolated from ducks and three C. coli strains isolated from chickens and duck showed resistance to fosfomycin, with MICs ranging from 64 to ≥ 256 μg/mL. The extent of fosfomycin resistance was 0%, 0.9% and 3.9% in wild birds, chicken and ducks respectively. The MIC50, MIC90, and MIC100 values were 8, 32, and 32 μg/mL respectively in wild bird, 32, 32, and 64 μg/mL respectively in chicken, and 32, 32, and ≥ 256 μg/mL respectively in ducks. All eight fosfomycin-resistant Campylobacter strains were multidrug resistant; six were also resistant to fluoroquinolones, ampicillin, and tetracycline, and two were also resistant to fluoroquinolones, ampicillin, tetracycline, and macrolides. However, the fosfomycin resistance gene fosXCC was not detected in the eight fosfomycin-resistant strains. Because food animals can harbor fosfomycin-resistant Campylobacter and transmit them to humans, greater efforts are needed to monitor the prevalence of fosfomycin resistance in Campylobacter strains isolated from such animals.

Identification of Campylobacter jejuni promoter sequences.

Project description:A promoterless lacZ shuttle vector, which allowed screening of promoters by beta-galactosidase activity in Campylobacter jejuni and Escherichia coli, was developed. Chromosomal DNA fragments from C. jejuni were cloned into this vector; 125 of 1,824 clones displayed promoter activity in C. jejuni. Eleven clones with strong promoter activity in C. jejuni were further characterized. Their nucleotide sequences were determined, and the transcriptional start sites of the putative promoters in C. jejuni were determined by primer extension. Only 6 of these 11 promoters were functional in E. coli. The 11 newly characterized and 10 previously characterized C. jejuni promoters were used to establish a consensus sequence for C. jejuni promoters. The 21 promoters were found to be very similar. They contain three conserved regions, located approximately 10, 16, and 35 bp upstream of the transcriptional start point. The -10 region resembles that of a typical sigma70 E. coli promoter, but the -35 region is completely different. In addition a -16 region typical for gram-positive bacteria was identified.
