Campylobacteriosis is one of the most important reported zoonosis worldwide. Besides poultry other sources of infection have been described. In the current study, the incidence of Campylobacter spp. was assessed over a five-month period in mussel samples harvested from one of the most important producing areas (Galicia, NW Spain) in Europe. Out of 91 samples screened, 8% were positive and identified as C. lari by MALDI-TOF and whole genome sequencing. All were detected during the colder months (February and March). The antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes analysis indicated that all were multi-resistant to at least 4 antimicrobials. They were negative for the presence of 5 virulence-related genes. This is the first report of this zoonotic pathogen in mussels from one of the most important shellfish producing regions in Europe. The genomes of these 7 C. lari isolates were released to the genome public database at NCBI.

弯曲杆菌病是世界范围内报道的最重要的人畜共患病之一。除家禽外，其他感染源也已被描述。在目前的研究中，弯曲杆菌属的发病率。对从欧洲最重要的产区之一（西班牙西北部加利西亚）收获的贻贝样品进行了为期五个月的评估。在筛选的 91 个样本中，8% 呈阳性并被确定为C. lari通过 MALDI-TOF 和全基因组测序。所有这些都是在较冷的月份（二月和三月）检测到的。抗菌素耐药性和毒力基因分析表明，所有抗菌素都对至少4种抗菌素具有多重耐药性。他们对 5 个毒力相关基因的存在呈阴性。这是欧洲最重要的贝类产区之一的贻贝中这种人畜共患病原体的首次报告。这 7 个C. lari分离株的基因组已发布到 NCBI 的基因组公共数据库中。
