Campylobacter concisus 13826

Strains of this species were first isolated from gingival crevices of persons with gingivitis, periodontitis, and periodontosis, but have subsequently been isolated from the feces of patients with gastroenteritis. This strain was isolated in Denmark from the feces of a patient with bloody diarrhea. No sequence is available for this Campylobacter species. The complete genome sequence of this isolate may enable identification of possible mechanisms for the ability of Campylobacter to cause diarrhea and any horizontal transfer events from C. jejuni or C. coli, more common diarrhea-causing Campylobacter species. Perhaps we can determine how this species is emerging as a gastrointestinal infectious agent from the complete genomic sequence.
