Allele numbers were assigned by comparing sequences with sequences in the public MLST profile database (http://pubmlst.org/campylobacter). STs and clonal complexes were also assigned by comparison with STs and clonal complexes in the MLST database. Novel sequences and STs were submitted to the database, and new allele or ST numbers were assigned.
U, not assigned to a clonal complex.
Novel ST in this study.
Novel allele in this study.
The number indicates the individual from which the isolate was derived.
Location at which the bird was sampled or found dead. Locations 1 to 4 and 6 to 11, mixed pasture and arable farmland on the Cheshire plain in northwest England; location 5, a small town in Cheshire in northwest England; location 12, salt marsh habitat in the Mersey estuary in northwest England; locations 13 and 15, Morecambe Bay estuary in northwest England; location 14, Dee estuary in northwest England.
