A significant fraction (46/108, 43%) of swine isolates of Campylobacter coli but none of 81 isolates of C. coli from turkeys had genomic DNA that was resistant to digestion by MboI, suggesting methylation of adenines at GATC sites. No consistent association was noted between antimicrobial resistance and MboI resistance. Seven swine-associated multilocus sequence typing-based sequence types (STs) were detected among multiple isolates with MboI-resistant DNA. The data suggest host-associated DNA modification system(s) specific for adenine at GATC sites in C. coli from swine.
猪源弯曲杆菌属空肠弯曲菌的很大一部分(46/108,43%)分离株但没有 81 株来自火鸡的弯曲杆菌属空肠弯曲菌分离株的基因组 DNA 对 MboI 的消化具有抗性,提示 GATC 位点腺嘌呤的甲基化。未发现抗生素耐药性与 MboI 耐药性之间存在一致的相关性。在具有 MboI 抗性 DNA 的多个分离株中检测到 7 种与猪相关的多位点序列分型(ST)。这些数据表明猪源弯曲杆菌属空肠弯曲菌中存在宿主相关的 GATC 位点腺嘌呤特异性 DNA 修饰系统。
