Deposited a Campylobacter jejuni strain into the American Type Culture Collection bank. 2008. This strain has been collected from live broiler chickens in Puerto Rico and is resistant to tetracycline. The uniqueness of this strain is that the tetO gene has already been incorporated into the chromosome and is not transmitted by plasmids (J. Appl. Microbiol. 105:800-812).

Oyarzabal, O. A. 2007. Deposited a Campylobacter jejuni strain collected from live broiler chickens in Puerto Rico and is resistant to tetracycline into the Biodefense and Emerging Infections Research Resources Repository (BEI Resources), which is operated by the American Type Culture Collection bank. The tetO gene of this strain appears to be already incorporated into the chromosome and is not transmitted by plasmids (J. Appl. Microbiol. 105:800-812).
