Draft genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni Bf, an atypical strain able to grow under aerobiosis

Abstract

In this study, we describe the draft genome sequence of a Campylobacter jejuni clinical isolate issued from a French patient suffering from severe campylobacteriosis. This atypical strain is characterized by an unusual resistance to oxygen and the ability to grow under an aerobic atmosphere, a characteristic as-of-yet unique to this species.
