Campylobacter jejuni transcriptome changes during loss of culturability in water

BackgroundThe natural environment serves as a potential reservoir for Campylobacter, the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. However, little is understood about the mechanisms underlying variations in survival characteristics between different strains of C. jejuni in natural environments, including water.\n\nResultsWe identified three Campylobacter jejuni strains that exhibited variability in...
