Subject: NC_009839:30409 Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 81116, complete genome
Lineage: Campylobacter jejuni; Campylobacter; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 81116 is a human strain isolated from a waterborne outbreak in 1982 and now routinely used as a laboratory strain. 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.
