Genome position of biofilm‐associated genetic elements.

A. Frequency of biofilm‐associated 30 bp words from the original and/or verification genome‐wide association studies, mapped to the C . jejuni  NCTC11168 reference genome for ST‐21 (blue) and ST‐45 (red) clonal complex isolates.

B. Visualized using Artemis (Carver et al., 2009) showing biofilm‐associated words (inner circle) in relation to annotated coding regions (black lines) and oxidative stress (orange), capsule and extrapolysaccharides (purple), nickel transport (green) and biofilm genes from published studies (Svensson et al., 2009; Howlett et al., 2012; Avila‐Ramirez et al., 2013; van Alphen et al., 2014).
