Genome assemblies and respective wg/cgMLST profiles of a diverse dataset comprising 3,076 Campylobacter jejuni isolates

<p><strong>Dataset</strong></p> <p>This dataset comprises the genome assemblies and respective 2,794-loci whole-genome (wg) Multiple Locus Sequence Type (MLST) profiles [INNUENDO schema (<a href="https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.2903/sp.efsa.2018.EN-1498">Llarena et al. 2018</a>) available in <a href="https://chewbbaca.online/species/4/schemas/1">chewie-NS</a> (<a href="https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/49/D1/D660/5929238">Mamede et al. 2022</a>)] of a final set of 3,076 <em>Campylobacter jejuni </em>samples selected among the Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) data publicly available in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) or in the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/">National Center for Biotechnology Information</a> (NCBI) Sequence Read Archive (SRA) at the beginning of the analysis (November 2021). This set of samples was carefully selected to cover a wide genetic diversity (assessed in terms of Sequence Type [ST]). In total, 476 different STs are represented in this dataset, with ST21, ST50, ST48, ST45 and ST257 being the most represented ones and, together, corresponding to 29.1% of the dataset.</p> <p>File &ldquo;Cj_metadata.xlsx&rdquo; contains metadata information for each isolate, including ENA/SRA accession number, BioProject and in-silico MLST ST.</p> <p>The directory &ldquo;assemblies/&rdquo; contains all the genome assemblies (.fasta format) of each isolate presented in the metadata file.&nbsp;</p> <p>The file &ldquo;profiles/Cj_profiles_wgMLST.tsv&rdquo; corresponds to a tab separated file with the 2,794-loci wgMLST profiles of each solate presented in the metadata file.

These profiles were determined as explained below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Dataset selection and curation</strong></p> <p>With the objective of creating a diverse dataset of <em>C. jejuni</em> genome assemblies, we collected information about the genetic diversity (serotype) of the isolates available at <a href="https://pubmlst.org/organisms/campylobacter-jejunicoli">PubMLST</a> database in the beginning of this analysis (November 2021) and in other previous works. Based on this information, we selected an initial dataset comprising 3,539 samples. The majority of them are associated with the INNUENDO project (<a href="https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.2903/sp.efsa.2018.EN-1498">Llarena et al. 2018</a>). The remaining ones are associated with five BioProjects (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJEB31119">PRJEB31119</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJEB38253">PRJEB38253</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJEB40238">PRJEB40238</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJEB4165">PRJEB4165</a> and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJNA350537">PRJNA350537</a>). Their WGS data was downloaded from ENA/SRA with <a href="https://github.com/rpetit3/fastq-dl">fastq-dl</a> v1.0.6.

Assembly quality control (QC), including contamination assessment, as well as MLST ST determination were performed with the same pipeline. All genome assemblies passing the QC were included in the final dataset. Among the others, we noticed that a considerable proportion of assemblies was flagged as &ldquo;QC fail&rdquo; exclusively due to the &ldquo;NumContamSNVs&rdquo; parameter, suggesting that this setting might have been too strict. After manual inspection of a random subset, assemblies for which the percentage of reads corresponding to the correct species was &gt;98% were recovered and integrated in the final dataset (those samples are labeled in the Metadata file).

Supplementary dataset to publication: "Genomic insight into Campylobacter jejuni isolated from commercial turkey flocks in Germany using whole-genome sequencing analysis"

<p><em>Campylobacter jejuni </em>is a zoonotic bacterium of public health significance. The present investigation was designed to assess the epidemiology and genetic heterogeneity of <em>Campylobacter jejuni</em> recovered from commercial turkey farms in Germany using whole-genome sequencing. The Illumina MiSeq<sup>&reg;</sup> technology was used to sequence 66 <em>Campylobacter jejuni </em>isolates obtained between 2010 and 2011 from commercial meat turkey flocks located in ten German federal states. Phenotypic antimicrobial resistance was determined. Phylogeny, resistome, plasmidome and virulome profiles were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing data. Genetic resistancemarkers were identified with bioinformatics tools (AMRFinder, ResFinder, NCBI and ABRicate) and compared with the phenotypic antimicrobial resistance.</p>

Data from: Campylobacter jejuni infection associated with relatively poor condition and low survival in a wild bird

Campylobacter jejuni is the most common foodborne pathogen in industrialized countries. Most human infections come from contaminated poultry, but wild birds are also known to harbor C. jejuni. Wild birds are often described as asymptomatic carriers, but this assumption is based on domestic poultry research. We studied the effects of C. jejuni infection on body condition and survival of adult and nestling American crows Corvus brachyrhynchos in Davis, California. Previous work demonstrated that more than half of the crows in this population are infected with C. jejuni and that at least some of the isolates carried by crows are similar to those found in domestic animals and humans. In this study, we compared the body condition of infected and uninfected individuals at the time of capture among adults (n = 44; 52% infected) and nestlings (n = 97; 77% infected). We subsequently monitored these banded individuals for up to 3 yr and used mark–recapture survival analysis to estimate relationships between infection status and later survival. We found that adult crows infected with C. jejuni were in poor condition relative to uninfected adults: average body mass of infected birds was 12% lower, whereas average body size did not differ between the two groups. Likewise, apparent survival probability was lower for infected adults. In contrast, nestling body condition, fledging success, and survival did not differ by infection status. This is the first study to document adverse effects of C. jejuni infection in a free-living, wild bird. If these effects are widespread, C. jejuni exposure may be a cause of conservation concern for some species, especially when human activities increase exposure to infections or introduce novel strains to wild bird populations. Our results add to the growing body of work demonstrating hidden long-term costs of seemingly mild infections in wild populations.

Data from: Cytokine responses in birds challenged with the human food-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni implies a Th17 response

Development of process orientated understanding of cytokine interactions within the gastrointestinal tract during an immune response to pathogens requires experimentation and statistical modelling. The immune response against pathogen challenge depends on the specific threat to the host. Here, we show that broiler chickens mount a breed-dependent immune response to Campylobacter jejuni infection in the caeca by analysing experimental data using frequentist and Bayesian structural equation models (SEM). SEM provides a framework by which cytokine interdependencies, based on prior knowledge, can be tested. In both breeds important cytokines including pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1β, , IL-4, IL-17A, interferon (IFN)-γ and anti-inflammatory IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β4 were expressed post-challenge. The SEM revealed a putative regulatory pathway illustrating a T helper (Th)17 response and regulation of IL-10, which is breed-dependent. The prominence of the Th17 pathway indicates the cytokine response aims to limit the invasion or colonization of an extracellular bacterial pathogen but the time-dependent nature of the response differs between breeds.

Data from: High throughput method for analysis of repeat number for 28 phase variable loci of Campylobacter jejuni strain NCTC11168

Mutations in simple sequence repeat tracts are a major mechanism of phase variation in several bacterial species including Campylobacter jejuni. Changes in repeat number of tracts located within the reading frame can produce a high frequency of reversible switches in gene expression between ON and OFF states. The genome of C. jejuni strain NCTC11168 contains 29 loci with polyG/polyC tracts of seven or more repeats. This protocol outlines a method—the 28-locus-CJ11168 PV-analysis assay—for rapidly determining ON/OFF states of 28 of these phase-variable loci in a large number of individual colonies from C. jejuni strain NCTC11168. The method combines a series of multiplex PCR assays with a fragment analysis assay and automated extraction of fragment length, repeat number and expression state. This high throughput, multiplex assay has utility for detecting shifts in phase variation states within and between populations over time and for exploring the effects of phase variation on adaptation to differing selective pressures. Application of this method to analysis of the 28 polyG/polyC tracts in 90 C. jejuni colonies detected a 2.5-fold increase in slippage products as tracts lengthened from G8 to G11 but no difference between tracts of similar length indicating that flanking sequence does not influence slippage rates. Comparison of this observed slippage to previously measured mutation rates for G8 and G11 tracts in C. jejuni indicates that PCR amplification of a DNA sample will over-estimate phase variation frequencies by 20-35-fold. An important output of the 28-locus-CJ11168 PV-analysis assay is combinatorial expression states that cannot be determined by other methods. This method can be adapted to analysis of phase variation in other C. jejuni strains and in a diverse range of bacterial species.

Data from: Cryptic ecology among host generalist Campylobacter jejuni in domestic animals

Homologous recombination between bacterial strains is theoretically capable of preventing the separation of daughter clusters, and producing cohesive clouds of genotypes in sequence space. However, numerous barriers to recombination are known. Barriers may be essential such as adaptive incompatibility, or ecological, which is associated with the opportunities for recombination in the natural habitat. Campylobacter jejuni is a gut colonizer of numerous animal species and a major human enteric pathogen. We demonstrate that the two major generalist lineages of C. jejuni do not show evidence of recombination with each other in nature, despite having a high degree of host niche overlap and recombining extensively with specialist lineages. However, transformation experiments show that the generalist lineages readily recombine with one another in vitro. This suggests ecological rather than essential barriers to recombination, caused by a cryptic niche structure within the hosts.
