Complete genomic sequence of Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni HS:19 strain RM1285 that was isolated from packaged chicken. Genome Announcements. 4(5):e01100-16. Interpretive Summary: Poultry products serve as the main source of Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni (Cjj) infections in humans. Cjj infections are a leading cause of foodborne gastroenteritis and are a prevalent antecedent to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This study describes the genome of Cjj HS:19 strain RM1285 isolated from packaged chicken in California. The complete annotated genomic sequences of RM1285 is 1.68 Mbp and possesses a lipooligosaccharide (LOS) biosynthesis locus predicted to synthesize sialylated LOS molecules that are common to GBS associated strains.
