Differentiation of enteropathogenic Campylobacter.

Comparison of PCR and Culture Methods for Diagnosis of Enteropathogenic Campylobacter in Fowl Feces

Enteritis due to Campylobacter is the most common cause of acute bacterial diarrhea worldwide. In most cases, infection occurs as a result of consuming contaminated water or food, especially raw meat of fowls. Campylobacters are saccharolytic and fastidious bacteria. These traits limit the number of available biochemical tests by which isolates may be differentiated. These limitations might, in...

Draft Genome Sequence of the Enteropathogenic Bacterium Campylobacter jejuni Strain cj255

The enteropathogen Campylobacter jejuni is a global health disaster, being one of the leading causes of bacterial gastroenteritis. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of C. jejuni strain cj255, isolated from a chicken source in Islamabad, Pakistan. The draft genome sequence will aid in epidemiological studies and quarantine of this broad-host-range pathogen.
