Abstract

We present the draft genomic sequences of 65 isolates of Campylobacter spp. (38 Campylobacter coli and 27 Campylobacter jejuni) isolated from table egg-layer chickens, which are not generally associated with human transmission. Up to this time, there are no publicly available genomic sequences of Campylobacter isolated from laying hens.

Keywords: Campylobacter coli; Campylobacter jejuni; genomic sequence.
