@evanmou.bsky.social previously identified cmeB as a gene often shared between #Campylobacter species. Link: elifesciences.org/articles/73552
Host ecology regulates interspecies recombination in bacteria of the genus Campylobacter
Horizontal gene transfer can potentially merge genomes from distinct bacterial species, but isolation in different hosts creates a physical barrier to gene flow.

AMR in #Campylobacter threatens the efficacy of oral antibiotics for treating gastrointestinal diseases in regions like Peru. Our study links resistance mutations to poultry reservoirs, underscoring the urgent need for targeted interventions. #AMR Link: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....
Sharing of cmeRABC alleles between C. coli and C. jejuni associated with extensive drug resistance in Campylobacter isolates from infants and poultry in the Peruvian Amazon | mBio
Antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter is a growing public health concern, driven by the rapid evolution and zoonotic transmission
of resistant strains. This study focuses on mutations in the cmeAB...

We find more examples of these high resistance in global datasets - particularly in LMICs, and predominantly in lineages associated with chicken production (credit to @pubmlst.org)
