چکیده
Genome sequencing of Campylobacter jejuni strain T1-21 isolated from retail chicken meat revealed the presence of a chromosome of 1,565,978 bp and a megaplasmid of 82,732 bp that contains Mu-like prophage and multidrug resistance genes. This is the first reported sequence of a Campylobacter megaplasmid >55 kb.
