Stephanie Peters, Ben Pascoe, et al. use whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic analysis of clinical strains from patients to identify potential genetic factors involved in irritable bowel syndrome resulting from Campylobacter jejuni infection. Their data suggest that genes involved in the bacterial stress response and biosynthetic pathways may contribute toward irritable bowel syndrome, providing further insight into links between Campylobacter genotypes and risk of disease.
