ABSTRACTCampylobacter jejuniis an intestinal bacterium that can cause abortion in livestock. This publication announces the public release of 15Campylobacter jejunigenome sequences from isolates linked to abortion in livestock. These isolates are part of the 100K Pathogen Genome Project and are from clinical cases at the University of California (UC) Davis.
