Abstract

Campylobacter hepaticus is known to cause spotty liver disease (SLD) in layer chickens around peak production. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two C. hepaticus strains, USA1 and USA5, from the United States. The genomes comprise chromosomes of 1,508,744 and 1,531,174 bp, respectively, with a G + C content of 28%.

Keywords: Campylobacter hepaticus; Illumina; genomes; nanopore technology.
