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.

Diverse gene products including phytotoxins, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, and type III secreted effectors influence interactions between Pseudomonas syringae strains and plants, with additional yet uncharacterized factors likely contributing as well. Of particular interest are those interactions governing pathogen-host specificity. Comparative genomics of closely related pathogens with different host specificity represents an excellent approach for identification of genes contributing to host-range determination. A draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato T1, which is pathogenic on tomato but nonpathogenic on Arabidopsis thaliana, was obtained for this purpose and compared with the genome of the closely related A. thaliana and tomato model pathogen P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000. Although the overall genetic content of each of the two genomes appears to be highly similar, the repertoire of effectors was found to diverge significantly. Several P. syringae pv. tomato T1 effectors absent from strain DC3000 were confirmed to be translocated into plants, with the well-studied effector AvrRpt2 representing a likely candidate for host-range determination. However, the presence of avrRpt2 was not found sufficient to explain A. thaliana resistance to P. syringae pv. tomato T1, suggesting that other effectors and possibly type III secretion system–independent factors also play a role in this interaction.

ABSTRACT Campylobacter jejuni is the most prevalent cause of food-borne gastroenteritis in the developed world. The reference and original sequenced strain C. jejuni NCTC11168 has low levels of motility compared to clinical isolates. Here, we describe the draft genome of the laboratory derived hypermotile variant named 11168H.

The first draft genome sequence of the pearl millet blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea PMg_Dl from India is presented. The genome information of M. grisea will be useful to understand the Magnaporthe speciation, genetic diversity, environmental adaptation, and pathogenic and host range determinants.

In this study, we describe the draft genome sequence of aCampylobacter jejuniclinical isolate issued from a French patient suffering from severe campylobacteriosis. This atypical strain is characterized by an unusual resistance to oxygen and the ability to grow under an aerobic atmosphere, a characteristic as-of-yet unique to this species.

Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic pathogen known to be resistant to a wide range of antibiotics worldwide. Campylobacter jejuni may be intrinsically resistant to antibiotics or can acquire antibiotic resistance determinants through gene transfer. However, the knowledge of molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance among Campylobacter isolates from wild birds, especially in Lithuania, is limited. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a tool for better understanding the evolutionary and epidemiologic dynamics of C jejuni. This study describes a draft whole genome sequence of C jejuni MM26-781 isolated from a common pigeon ( Columba livia) in Lithuania in 2011 and assigned to ST-6424 (CC179) sequence type. The draft genome sequence contained 1.68 Mb, comprising 1651 coding genes, 40 transfer RNAs, 1 ribosomal RNA, and 69 pseudogenes with an average G + C content of 30.4%. The RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) pipeline annotated (NCTC11168) a total of 305 subsystems in the genome of C jejuni MM26-781 strain, with most of the genes associated with amino acids and derivatives related to metabolism (18.93%) and protein metabolism (14.43%). The genes and mutations related to antibiotic resistance, including gyrA and gyrB genes associated with quinolone resistance, blaOXA-448 gene (locus tag C9371_07715) associated with resistance to β-lactams, rpoB gene associated with resistance to rifamycin, vgaE gene associated with resistance to streptogramin and efflux system CmeABC ( cmeA, cmeB, cmeC), efflux pump PmrA, and transcriptional regulator CmeR responsible for multidrug resistance in C jejuni MM26-781 chromosome, were identified. Also, the virulence factors, including ciaB, cadF, ceuE, pldA, motB, and bd1A genes, were identified by WGS data analysis.

ABSTRACT Campylobacter jejuni is an enteric bacterium that can cause abortion in livestock. This is the release of a multidrug-resistant Campylobacter jejuni genome from an isolate that caused an abortion in a cow in northern California. This isolate is part of the 100K Pathogen Genome Project.
