Strains are ordered by origin (blood and faeces) and sequence type (ST-677 and ST-794). The ST-794 strains are shaded grey. Presence and absence of C. jejuni integrated elements (CJIE1, CJIE2 and CJIE5), HS4 capsule (CPS) subdivisions and the wcbK homopolymeric (hp) G-tract is shown. Intact wcbK ORFs are indicated in bold in the last column.
†Number of contigs before in silico gap closing, concatenation and re-ordering of the supercontigs.
*Partial CJIE1 sequence.
**CJIE5: Newly identified in this study.
***Type III restriction-modification (RM) system which was unique to the ST-794 sublineage.
