Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Genetics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Campylobacter jejuni is a significant cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
  • Understanding the population structure of C. jejuni is crucial for controlling its spread.
  • Clonal complexes represent informative units for studying C. jejuni epidemiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a reference collection of C. jejuni isolates for clonal complexes.
  • To make these reference isolates available through the National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC).

Main Methods:

  • Development of a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for C. jejuni.
  • Genetic characterization of 814 isolates from human, animal, and food sources.
  • Identification of founder sequence types (STs) defining clonal complexes.

Main Results:

  • MLST enabled the genetic characterization and population structure analysis of C. jejuni.
  • Thirteen founder isolates representing distinct clonal complexes were identified.
  • These isolates were selected as a representative cross-section of the C. jejuni population.

Conclusions:

  • A defined set of 13 C. jejuni reference isolates is now available via NCTC.
  • This collection serves as a valuable resource for research on C. jejuni genomic diversity, virulence, and adaptation.
  • The isolates facilitate further studies into host-pathogen interactions and survival strategies.
