Draft Genome Sequence of Ciprofloxacin and Ceftriaxone Resistant Campylobacter jejuni MM26-781 Assigned to Novel ST Isolated From Common Pigeon in Lithuania.

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic pathogen known to be resistant to a wide range of antibiotics worldwide. Campylobacter jejuni may be intrinsically resistant to antibiotics or can acquire antibiotic resistance determinants through gene transfer. However, the knowledge of molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance among Campylobacter isolates from wild birds, especially in Lithuania, is limited. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a tool for better understanding the evolutionary and epidemiologic dynamics of C jejuni. This study describes a draft whole genome sequence of C jejuni MM26-781 isolated from a common pigeon (Columba livia) in Lithuania in 2011 and assigned to ST-6424 (CC179) sequence type. The draft genome sequence contain
