Abstract

Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a Campylobacter strain isolated in the Netherlands from a patient with gastroenteritis. The strain showed >98% sequence identity to the novel Campylobacter species sequence recently recovered from metagenomic data, isolated from breastfed infants with diarrheal disease, and named "Candidatus Campylobacter infans."

Sequencing metrics, genomic data, and phylogenetic dendrogram based on the core genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Helicobacter pylori J99 is used as an outgroup and root. Local support values, calculated with the Shimodaira-Hasegawa test (14), for all branches are given. Bar, 0.2 substitutions per nucleotide position in the core gene superalignment.
