Campylobacter Genomic Data from Egypt on Antimicrobial Resistance

112 Campylobacter isolates were collected from broiler carcasses, milk and dairy products, and patients in Cairo, Egypt. The study characterized genetic diversity and accessory genome content, identifying common sequence types like CC21 and CC206. Author Ben Pascoe conducted this research, which highlights multidrug resistance as a significant public health concern.

Use Cases

• Analyzing lineage-specific accessory genome sharing based on comparative genomics described in the study
• Studying the prevalence of multidrug resistance in C. coli versus C. jejuni isolates mentioned in the description
• Investigating geographic clustering of sequence types like CC21 and CC828 within Egypt
• Examining the distribution of host-specialist clonal complexes (e.g., CC42, CC45, CC61) in different sample sources

Strengths

• Includes 112 Campylobacter isolates from three distinct sources: broiler carcasses (31), milk/dairy (24), and patients (57)
• Comparative genomics analysis quantifies core and accessory genome sharing among isolates from the same country
• Identifies specific, globally relevant clonal complexes such as ST-21 (CC21), CC206, CC464, and CC48

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
