Campylobacter jejuni subsp. doylei 269.97

This strain is a representative of the C. jejuni subsp. doylei that causes bacteremia in South Africa. At the Red Cross Children's hospital in Cape Town South Africa, C. jejuni subsp. doylei has been isolated from the blood more frequently than C. jejuni subsp. jejuni. The complete genomic sequence (none available at present) for C. jejuni subsp. doylei will reveal the differences between C. jejuni subsp. doylei and C. jejuni subsp. jejuni and may help determine why these emerging C. jejuni subsp. doylei isolates cause more blood-borne disease than C. jejuni subsp. jejuni.
