Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni str. RM3420 Genome sequencing

The food-borne pathogens Campylobacter jejuni (Cj) and C. coli (Cc) produce capsular polysaccharides (CPS) that are the major antigenic determinants of the classical Penner serotyping system that distinguishes these Campylobacters into 65 groups. In order to examine the genomic diversity of Cj and Cc, and to identify DNA signatures for the development of faster and cheaper typing assays, we have determined the draft genome sequences of 38 Cj and 18 Cc strains representing 56 different Penner serotypes.

食源性病原体空肠弯曲菌（Cj）和大肠弯曲菌（Cc）可产生荚膜多糖（CPS），这些多糖是经典彭纳血清分型系统中区分这些弯曲菌为65个不同组的的主要抗原决定因素。为了考察Cj和Cc的基因组多样性，并识别用于开发更快更便宜的分型检测方法的DNA特征标记，我们已确定了代表56种不同彭纳血清型的38株Cj和18株Cc菌株的基因组草图序列。
