Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 infected with NCTC 12673 bacteriophage Transcriptome
Campylobacter jejuni is a frequent foodborne pathogens of humans. As C. jejuni infections tend to arise from handling and consuming contaminated poultry, bacteriophage treatments have been proposed to reduce C. jejuni load on farms and prevent human infections. We used RNA-seq to profile phage-host interactions between phage NCTC12673, a lytic T4-like myovirus with a 135-kB dsDNA genome, and C. jejuni NCTC11168 during infection.
