Abstract

Raw poultry can harbor microbial pathogens. Campylobacter jejuni BSD5, isolated from a critical control point within a poultry production plant, was sequenced. Genome annotation revealed several virulence genes including antibiotic resistance genes in agreement with the phenotypic results, indicating a potential risk of this strain to public health.
