Draft genomes of multidrug-resistant Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli strains from Brazil representing novel sequence types.

Whole-genome sequencing identified three previously unidentified multilocus sequence types of Campylobacter jejuni (ST-12332) and Campylobacter coli (ST-12333 and ST-12663), harboring resistance genes for multiple antimicrobial classes. The sources of isolation highlight the circulation of resistance strains within animals and humans, emphasizing the need for preventive measures.
