Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni is a leading bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis. C. jejuni strain P4549 was isolated from an asymptomatic rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta. We report the genome sequences have a circular chromosome of 1,729,940 bp and two plasmids of 50,482 bp and 7,259 bp, respectively.

Keywords: Campylobacter jejuni; genome assembly; genome sequences; hybrid sequencing; non-human primate; rhesus monkey.
