Draft Genome Sequences of Three Strains of Campylobacter jejuni Isolated from Patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Bangladesh

Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni is the pathogen most commonly associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The present work describes the draft genome sequences of 3 C. jejuni strains, BD39, BD67, and BD75, isolated from stool specimens of patients with C. jejuni-triggered GBS using Illumina technologies.

Draft Genome Sequences of Four Strains of Campylobacter jejuni Isolated from Patients with Axonal Variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Bangladesh

“…Both genomes possessed the same CRISPR arrays and spacer sequences. The protospacer from Campylobacter phage DA10 (GenBank accession number MN530981 ) was commonly targeted by both strains, which is similar to the previously announced C. jejuni strains ( 18 ). Finally, these draft genome sequences would help to determine strain-level differences and identify genetic variants/genes associated with axonal GBS pathogenesis.…”
