Abstract
Campylobacter coli, along with Campylobacter jejuni, is a major agent of gastroenteritis and acute enterocolitis in humans. We report the whole-genome sequences of two multidrug-resistance C. coli strains, isolated from the Colombian poultry chain. The isolates contain a variety of antimicrobial resistance genes for aminoglycosides, lincosamides, fluoroquinolones, and tetracycline.
Highlights
Campylobacter coli, along with Campylobacter jejuni, is a major agent of gastroenteritis and acute enterocolitis in humans
C. coli accounts for fewer infections in humans than Campylobacter jejuni, its impact is considerable [10], taking into account the increased capability for antimicrobial resistance [11], where multidrug efflux pumps play an important role as mechanisms of antibiotic resistance [3]
A small number of studies in Colombia have focused on understanding the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. and their associated antimicrobial resistance
Summary
Campylobacter coli, along with Campylobacter jejuni, is a major agent of gastroenteritis and acute enterocolitis in humans. Campylobacter spp. are zoonotic pathogens [2] and some of the main bacteria associated with human food-borne illness [3, 4]. Campylobacteriosis is frequently associated with the consumption of undercooked poultry meat and the mishandling of the raw poultry products [5, 6].
