Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni
is a major cause of food-borne infections in the United States due to its ability to asymptomatically colonize the gastrointestinal tracts of chickens. Using competition assays with parental
C. jejuni
81-176, variants with consistently improved fitness in chicken ceca relative to the parental strain were identified and sequenced.
