Genomic adaptations of Campylobacter jejuni to long-term human colonization

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates how genomics, phylogenetics, 16S rRNA metabarcoding and biochemical markers can provide insight into howCampylobacter adapts to changing environments within human hosts. This study also demonstrates that long-term human colonization selects for changes inCampylobacter genes involved in cell motility, signal transduction and the MOMP; and that genetically distinct subpopulations ofCampylobacter evolve to adapt to the changing gastrointestinal environment.
