Whole-genome comparison using complete genomes from Campylobacter fetus strains revealed single nucleotide polymorphisms on non-genomic islands for subspecies differentiation
Our results highlighted the high genetic stability of <i>C. fetus</i> subspecies. Nevertheless, <i>Campylobacter fetus</i> subsp. venerealis and its biovar variants encoded common SNPs in genes related to glycine intolerance, which differentiates them from <i>C. fetus</i> subsp. fetus. This discovery highlights the potential of employing a multiple-SNP assay for the precise differentiation of <i>C. fetus</i> subspecies.
