However, a solid medium is also needed for the isolation of pure colonies, enumeration of bacterial populations, and other studies on the pathogen. Recently, a liquid medium which allows selective enrichment of Campylobacter using aerobic incubation has been described. Therefore, attempts have been made to simplify these culture methods and to reduce costs associated with conducting research on Campylobacter. However, research on Campylobacter is hampered by costs and technical requirements for isolating and culturing the bacterium, especially in low and middle-income countries. Although the diarrhea produced by these bacteria is self-limiting, the pathogen has been associated with severe long-term sequelae following acute signs and symptoms of the illness. are considered the most frequent bacterial cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. jejuni isolates associated with human infection in this country.Ĭampylobacter spp. jejuni isolates available in public databases and they provide relevant information about the C.

These are the first genomes of Chilean C. On the basis of the wgMLST, they were linked to strains from poultry and ruminants. They belonged to the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) clonal clomplex (CC) 21(PUCV-1), CC-48 (PUCV-3), and CC-353 (PUCV-2) and presented several putative virulence genes, including the Type IV and Type VI Secretion Systems, as well as AMR-associated genes in agreement with their susceptibility pattern. Three isolates were selected for WGS on the basis of their flaA -RFLP genotype. 63% of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin, 25.9% to tetracycline, and 3.5% to erythromycin. was detected from the faeces of 28 (8%) out of 350 patients with acute diarrhoea, mainly from young adults and children, and 26 (93%) of the isolates corresponded to C. strains recovered from faecal samples of patients with acute diarrhoea from Valparaíso, Chile. Considering this, the present study is aimed to describe the genomic traits from representative Campylobacter spp. However, the epidemiological information of these bacteria in Latin American countries is scarce and no genomic information is available in public databases from isolates in these countries.

Genome association analyses of this bacterial pathogen have contributed to a better understanding of its pathogenic and AMR associated determinants. jejuni possesses many different virulence factors, has the ability to survive in different reservoirs, and has shown among isolates the emergence of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

jejuni, are recognized worldwide as the bacterial species that most commonly cause food-related diarrhea.
