Abstract
The genus Arcobacter has been associated with human illness and fecal contamination by humans and animals. Here, we announce the draft genome sequences of three strains of Arcobacter species cultured from pig and dairy cattle manure tanks. This information will assist in the characterization of features related to host specificities and identify potential pathogenic health risks to humans and animals.
Highlights
The genus Arcobacter has been associated with human illness and fecal contamination by humans and animals
In 2010, Arcobacter strains AF1430 and AF1440 were recovered from a pig manure tank, and strain AF1581 was isolated from a dairy cattle manure tank from farms located in the southeast region of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The genome sequencing project was initiated based on multiple pairwise alignment of 16S rRNA gene, where these Arcobacter strains showed high phylogenetic relatedness (91.3 to 97.5% identity) to other known Arcobacter species
Summary
The genus Arcobacter has been associated with human illness and fecal contamination by humans and animals. The prevalence, relative abundance, sources, and route(s) of human and animal exposures to Arcobacter spp. need to be identified and considered health concerns.
