MeSH headings : Animals; Bacterial Typing Techniques; Base Composition; Campylobacter coli / classification; Campylobacter coli / genetics; Campylobacter jejuni / classification; Campylobacter jejuni / genetics; Chromosomes, Bacterial / genetics; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Gene Transfer, Horizontal; Genes, Bacterial; Genome, Bacterial; INDEL Mutation; Molecular Sequence Data; Open Reading Frames; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Sequence Alignment; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Turkeys / microbiology

TL;DR: The data suggest the occurrence of recombination events that resulted in genomic import of DNA from C. jejuni in the region between cydA and aspA in cluster II strains of C. coli. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Animals; Base Sequence; Campylobacter coli / drug effects; Campylobacter coli / genetics; Drug Resistance, Bacterial / physiology; Erythromycin / pharmacology; Introns / physiology; Molecular Sequence Data; RNA, Ribosomal, 23S / genetics; Turkey; Turkeys

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the absence of IVS in C. coli from turkeys is characteristic of a unique clonal group of erythromycin-susceptible strains and that IVS can be acquired by these strains via natural transformation to erystromycin resistance. (via Semantic Scholar)
