Genomic characterisation of Campylobacter jejuni Cj26: A high-level ciprofloxacin/erythromycin-resistant strain isolated from a poultry carcass in southern Brazil

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The draft genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni (Cj26) was analysed to investigate genetic mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, virulence-associated genes, and phylogenetic context. Methods: Antimicrobial resistance was assessed by agar dilution and disk diffusion. Cj26 w...

description ABSTRACT: Objectives: The draft genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni (Cj26) was analysed to investigate genetic mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, virulence-associated genes, and phylogenetic context. Methods: Antimicrobial resistance was assessed by agar dilution and disk diffusion. Cj26 was sequenced using NovaSeq 6000 technology. The genome was assembled and annotated. Resistance genes and chromosomal mutations were analysed using the Center for Genomic Epidemiology services, and the multilocus sequence type, SVR-flaA, and porA were determined. The virulome was determined using the Virulence Factor Database. Plasmid detection and assembly were performed using Unicycler v0.5.0 software. To infer the core genome phylogeny, prokka v1.14.5 was employed in conjunction with IQtree v2.0.3. Results: The Cj26 strain showed a high level of resistance to ciprofloxacin (32 µg/mL) and erythromycin (>128 µg/mL) and resistance to tetracycline and ampicillin. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that the strain belonged to sequence type 353. The substitutions Tre-86-Ile in gyrA and A2075G in 23s RNA were detected, along with the genes tetO, aph(3′)-III, ant(6)-Ia, and blaOXA 460. A consistent relationship among accessory and core genes was identified. When compared to other sequence type 353 genomes from Brazil, Cj26 clustered with strains that had more antimicrobial resistance genes than the other clusters. Conclusion: This report provides insight into the antimicrobial resistance determinants found in a C. jejuni strain and offers a valuable resource for further studies on Campylobacter genomics and antimicrobial resistance.
