Abstract
Aims: The objectives of this work were to use whole genome sequencing (WGS) to determine the antimicrobial
resistance genotypes of 116 Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated in Brazil and to compare it with the results
obtained by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). In addition, WGS was used to uncover the phylogenetic
relationship among those strains.
Results: By AST, the C. jejuni strains resistant to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, doxycycline, and erythromycin
were 51 (44%), 41 (35.3%), 41 (35.3%), and 6 (5.2%), respectively. By WGS, the genes aph(3¢)III, aadE,
blaOXA-449, blaOXA-184, blaOXA-61, and tet(O) were detected in 6 (5.2%), 3 (2.6%), 1 (0.9%), 10 (8.6%),
55 (47.4%), and 44 (38%) strains, respectively. Fifty-four (46.6%) strains showed the mutation T86I in the gyrA
gene, and four (3.4%) strains presented the mutation A2075G in the 23S rRNA gene. The correlation between
AST and WGS was 100% for ciprofloxacin, 97.5% for tetracyclines, and 66.7% for erythromycin. The whole
genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tree clustered the C. jejuni strains into two clades comprising
strains that were highly related from different sources, places, and years.
Conclusion: The high rates of C. jejuni strains resistant to ciprofloxacin and tetracyclines are of concern and
may represent a public health problem. WGS has a potential to be a powerful tool for the prediction of
resistance of antibiotics used to treat campylobacteriosis. The results obtained by whole genome SNP analysis
suggested the potential for transmission between clinical and nonclinical sources and between human and
animal sources over the course of 20 years in Brazil.
