Abstract
Campylobacter corcagiensis CIT045T (=CCUG 64942T, LMG 27932T), a new member of the Campylobacter genus, has recently been isolated from lion-tailed macaques in Cork, Ireland. To further characterize this new species and its potential pathogenicity, the genome sequence of C. corcagiensis was determined and is presented here.

Campylobacter corcagiensis was isolated by our research group from captive primates
Preliminary studies in our lab have shown that C. corcagiensis possesses some interesting phenotypic characteristics, such as bile and salt tolerance, as well as resistance to certain antibiotics, such as metronidazole and nalidixic acid
Summary
Campylobacter corcagiensis CIT045T (؍CCUG 64942T, LMG 27932T), a new member of the Campylobacter genus, has recently been isolated from lion-tailed macaques in Cork, Ireland. The Campylobacter genus currently includes 25 species and 8 subspecies that have been isolated from humans, birds, and domestic animals [1]. Many of the Campylobacter spp. described to date have been shown to cause disease in both humans and animals [1]. Campylobacter corcagiensis was isolated by our research group from captive primates.
