Complete genome sequences of plasmid-bearing multidrug-resistant Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli strains with type VI secretion systems, isolated from retail turkey and pork

Abstract

We report the complete genome sequences of multidrug-resistant Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from retail turkey and pork, respectively. The chromosomes of these two isolates contained type VI secretion system genes. The two isolates also harbored large plasmids with antimicrobial resistance genes possibly contributing to their multidrug resistance.
