Query: NC_003912:767500 Campylobacter jejuni RM1221, complete genome

Lineage: Campylobacter jejuni; Campylobacter; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain (RM1221; ATCC BAA-1062) was isolated from the skin of a retail chicken by the Produce Safety and Microbiology Research Unit (Western Regional Research Center, Albany, CA) and minimally passaged. Causes food poisoning. This organism is the leading cause of bacterial food poisoning (campylobacteriosis) in the world, and is more prevalent than Salmonella enteritis (salmonellosis). Found throughout nature, it can colonize the intestines of both mammals and birds, and transmission to humans occurs via contaminated food products. This organism can invade the epithelial layer by first attaching to epithelial cells, then penetrating through them. Systemic infections can also occur causing more severe illnesses.

Subject: NC_015846:531984 Capnocytophaga canimorsus Cc5 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Capnocytophaga canimorsus; Capnocytophaga; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commensal Gram-negative bacterium from the canine oral cavity that may cause severe zoonosis after dog bites. Capnocytophaga canimorsus is able to escape and modulate innate immunity at several levels and has the unusual property to feed on cultured mammalian cells, including phagocytes.
