Complete Genome Sequence of the Campylobacter cuniculorum Type Strain LMG 24588

Abstract

Campylobacter cuniculorum is a thermotolerant species isolated from farmed rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Although C. cuniculorum is highly prevalent in rabbits farmed for human consumption, the pathogenicity of this organism in humans is still unknown. This study describes the whole-genome sequence of the C. cuniculorum type strain LMG 24588 (=CCUG 56289T).

Complete Genome Sequences of the Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis , Campylobacter lari subsp. concheus , Campylobacter sputorum bv. sputorum, and Campylobacter volucris Type Strains

“…The genus Campylobacter currently contains 37 taxa comprising 31 validly described species, with five of these species further divided into 11 subspecies. Genomic data exist for the type strains of 34 Campylobacter taxa (e.g., see references 1–8). Such information would be valuable as baseline reference data for each species.…”
