Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter coli is a food-borne pathogen associated increasingly with human gastroenteritis. C. coli has a high prevalence in swine, but is isolated also from cattle and poultry. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been developed to differentiate C. coli strains. Although substantial allelic diversity was identified across all seven C. coli MLST loci, no correlations were made in two previous...
