Genotypic characterization and antimicrobial susceptibility of human <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> isolates in Southern Spain.

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter jejuni is the main cause of bacterial gastroenteritis and a public health problem worldwide. Little information is available on the genotypic characteristics of human C. jejuni in Spain. This study is based on an analysis of the resistome, virulome, and phylogenetic relationship, antibiogram prediction, and antimicrobial susceptibility of 114 human isolates of C. jejuni from a tertiary hospital in southern Spain from October 2020 to June 2023. The isolates were sequenced using Illumina technology, and a bioinformatic analysis was subsequently performed. The susceptibility of C. jejuni isolates to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and erythromycin was also tested. The resistance rates for each antibiotic were 90.3% for ciprofloxacin, 66.7% for tetracycli
