Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Genomic Structure of Isolates.

spp. are considered the most common bacterial cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in the world. The family includes the genus with the three species , , and as emergent enteropathogens and potential zoonotic agents. Here, we characterized genome sequences of that were isolated from water poultry on farms in Germany. Isolates were cultured, identified by MALDI-TOF MS and identification was verified with PCR assays. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of isolates was carried out with erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, tetracycline, gentamicin, and streptomycin using the gradient strip method (-test). We also sequenced whole genomes and predicted antibiotic resistance determinants, virulence factors, performed a phylogenetic analysis to determine the genetic relatedness of these isolates and searched for plasmids.
