Host-associated variability of the cdtABC operon, coding for the cytolethal distending toxin, in Campylobacter jejuni

Campylobacter, a major cause of food-borne gastroenteritis worldwide, colonize the gastrointestinal tract of a wide range of animals, being birds the main reservoir. The mechanisms involved in the interaction of Campylobacter with the different hosts are poorly understood. The cytolethal distending...
